EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Map of Tartary" housed within the illustrious Palazzo Ducale in Venice, Italy. The Hall of the Maps (Sala delle Mappe) serves as a majestic backdrop for this historical artifact, which is a collaboration between two renowned cartographers from different eras. Crafted by Gian Battista Ramusio in 1540 and later enhanced by Francesco Grisellini in 1761, this antique map offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Its horizontal layout allows for an immersive exploration of Tartary's vast territories and intricate details. As we delve into its cartographic wonders, we are transported back to the 16th century when exploration was at its zenith. The absence of people in this image invites us to focus solely on the artistry and precision behind this masterpiece. Every stroke and illustration on this map tells a story about Tartary's rich history, offering valuable insights into trade routes, geographical features, and cultural influences that shaped these lands. Grisellini's contribution adds another layer of depth to Ramusio's original work, showcasing how knowledge evolved over time through advancements in cartography. This print not only captures an exquisite piece of art but also symbolizes humanity's unquenchable thirst for discovery and understanding. As we admire this extraordinary fusion of illustration and painting suspended within time, let us appreciate both Ramusio and Grisellini for their dedication to preserving history through their craft.
