EDITORS COMMENTS
Navigatio en Brasiliam Americae: A Flemish Engraving of Flying Fish in the Torrid Zone, 16th Century This engraving, titled "Navigatio en Brasiliam Americae," showcases a lively scene of flying fish leaping through the vibrant waters of the Torrid Zone. The image, created in the 16th century, is a testament to the Flemish artistic tradition and the fascination Europeans held for the New World. The engraving, which is part of the rich collection at the Bibliothèque du service historique de la Marine in Paris, France, is a stunning example of the intricacy and detail that characterized Flemish art during this period. The horizontal composition of the print emphasizes the dynamic movement of the fish, their wings spread wide as they glide above the water's surface. The rich, horizontal color palette adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The Torrid Zone, depicted in this print, was a region of the world that held great mystery and allure for Europeans during the Age of Discovery. The flying fish, with their ability to leap out of the water, were a fascinating sight for sailors and explorers, adding to the sense of wonder and excitement that came with navigating the unfamiliar waters of the New World. The Flemish artists who created this engraving were known for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to capture the natural world with precision and beauty. This print is a prime example of their mastery, offering a glimpse into the wonders of the natural world that captivated the imaginations of Europeans during the 16th century.
