EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the "Map of Hungary, 1570". Created by Abraham Ortelius, a renowned Flemish cartographer and geographer of the 16th century, this engraving provides an intricate depiction of the Hungarian territory during that time. Ortelius' map is part of his famous work "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" which was considered one of the first modern atlases. This particular map, known as Hungarian Descriptio, offers a comprehensive geographical representation with meticulous attention to detail. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding Hungary's landscape and boundaries in the late 16th century. Displayed at Museo Navale di Pegli in Genoa, Italy, this print captures every element with precision and clarity. The expertise behind its creation is evident through Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography. By preserving this historical artifact through her lens, Ricciarini allows us to appreciate both Ortelius' artistry and her own talent in capturing such delicate details. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to explore Hungary's past. From its majestic rivers to its sprawling mountains and vibrant cities, this map reveals not only geographic information but also glimpses into cultural heritage and historical significance. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our desire to understand the world around us throughout different eras.
