EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of The Strait of Messina, a picturesque waterway that separates Calabria and Sicily. Taken from an engraving in the Atlas de Braun and Hogenberg dating back to 1585, this image transports us back in time to witness the stunning landscape as seen through the eyes of Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg. On the left side of the strait, we are greeted by the rugged coastline of Calabria, with its dramatic cliffs and rolling hills. As our gaze shifts towards the right, we are met with a mesmerizing sight - the city of Messina nestled against Mount Etna's majestic backdrop. This active volcano stands tall on Sicilian soil, its presence commanding both respect and awe. The attention to detail in this historical map is remarkable; it captures not only geographical features but also evokes a sense of wonder about these ancient lands. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved this piece for generations to come. As we admire this print, we can almost feel ourselves transported into another era - one where exploration was at its peak and cartography was an art form. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders have captivated humanity throughout history, inspiring artists like Braun and Hogenberg to immortalize them on paper. Whether you appreciate geography or simply seek visual delight, this print offers a glimpse into Italy's rich heritage while showcasing Mother Nature's grandeur at her finest.
