EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the "Map of the Kingdom of Naples, Italy" from Abraham Ortelius' renowned work, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Created in 1570, this exquisite map provides a fascinating glimpse into the topography and physical geography of 16th-century Italy. The aerial view reveals an expansive landscape encompassing Calabria, Naples, Campania, Apulia, and Basilicata. With its intricate details and Latin script annotations, this map served as both a navigational tool and a work of art during its time. A sailing ship gracefully glides across the Mediterranean Sea in this horizontal composition. Its presence evokes thoughts of exploration and adventure that were prevalent during the Age of Discovery. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we can almost imagine ourselves embarking on a grand journey to these enchanting Italian regions. The vibrant colors used in this illustration add depth to the coastline's contours while highlighting key features such as water bodies and mountain ranges. A compass rose elegantly guides our eyes towards cardinal directions while reminding us of the importance placed on accurate navigation centuries ago. With no people present within the frame, we are left to appreciate solely the craftsmanship behind Ortelius' masterpiece. This print serves as a testament to his skillful cartography and artistic vision - an enduring tribute to an era long past but forever preserved through his meticulous workmanship.
