EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to the 16th century, immersing us in a world of exploration and adventure. The image showcases a detailed depiction of a caravel sailing through vast ocean waters, as captured by Lazaro Luis for his renowned "Atlas of the Universe" in 1563. The caravel, an iconic vessel of that era, stands tall against the backdrop of endless blue waves. Its sails billow gracefully in the wind, propelling it forward on its journey into uncharted territories. This intricate artwork is not only a testament to Luis' mastery as a cartographer but also serves as an invaluable historical artifact. Every element within this print tells a story - from the meticulously drawn grid lines and compass rose that provide guidance to sailors navigating these treacherous waters, to the vertical composition that emphasizes both height and depth. It transports us back to an age when maps were hand-drawn with utmost precision and served as indispensable tools for naval expeditions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene devoid of human presence, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. This image encapsulates centuries-old history while simultaneously evoking feelings of wonderment and curiosity about what lies beyond our known horizons
