EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th century. Created by Battista Agnese in Venice on September 1st, 1553, this ink on vellum map offers a glimpse into Northern Europe as it was known during that time. Measuring at 29x49 cm, this intricate map is housed in the Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. It depicts various countries and regions including Scandinavia, England, Ireland, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Baltic Sea. The level of detail is astonishing; one can observe tiny boats sailing across the sea and even fish swimming beneath its surface. What makes this artwork truly fascinating are the mythical elements incorporated within it. A menacing sea monster lurks near Iceland while a personification of North Wind blows fiercely above Scandinavia. These fantastical additions add an air of mystery to an otherwise factual representation. Agnese's mastery shines through his precise rendering of coastlines and meticulous labeling of cities and towns throughout Northern Europe. This historical artifact not only serves as a valuable resource for understanding past geographical knowledge but also provides insight into Renaissance-era cartography techniques. This print allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such maps as well as gain insights into how our ancestors perceived their world centuries ago.
