EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Fol. 9v Map of Western Europe, a remarkable piece of cartography from 1555. Created by Guillaume Le Testu, a renowned French mapmaker, this watercolor on paper masterpiece offers an intriguing glimpse into the geographical understanding of the time. The map depicts Western Europe with meticulous detail, featuring countries such as England, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Ireland, and Scotland. The Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean dominate the scene while the English Channel and North Sea connect these vast bodies of water. What makes this map truly fascinating are its intricate embellishments. Adorning the borders are various coats of arms representing different regions or noble families. Additionally, hidden within the depths of the sea is a fearsome sea monster that adds an element of mystery to this historical artwork. As we delve into this ancient depiction of Western Europe's geography and cartography, it becomes evident that Le Testu's work was not only informative but also aesthetically pleasing. This Fine Art Finder print allows us to appreciate every minute detail in vibrant colors and exquisite clarity. With its rich history and artistic charm preserved through time by Service Historique de l'Armee de Terre in France, this image serves as a testament to human curiosity about our world's landscapes centuries ago.
