EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back in time to the 16th century. Created by Diego Homem, a Portuguese cartographer, this vellum artwork showcases the intricate beauty of early mapmaking. Preserved in The National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg, it offers us a glimpse into the historical significance of exploration and discovery. The image depicts an expansive view of the Americas, with its vast landscapes and waterways stretching across the frame. From North to South America and even encompassing parts of the Caribbean and Amazon regions, this detailed map provides valuable insights into how these continents were perceived during that era. One cannot help but be drawn to the ships sailing through the Atlantic Ocean on their voyages of exploration. These vessels symbolize both adventure and ambition as they navigate uncharted waters in search of new lands and trade routes. Diego Homem's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every stroke on this ancient piece. The precision with which he captured geographical features demonstrates his dedication to accurately representing these distant territories. This print invites viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit for knowledge about our world.
