EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Map of Spain, 1500" a remarkable work by the renowned Spanish cartographer and pilot, Juan de la Cosa. Created during the vibrant era of the 16th century, this map is a testament to de la Cosa's expertise in both navigation and cartography. The Map of Spain, with its vivid colors and intricate details, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Spain during this transformative period. It provides valuable insights into the country's geographical boundaries, coastal regions, and important cities such as Madrid. As an experienced navigator and pilot for expeditions like Columbus' Santa Maria voyage, de la Cosa's map also reflects his extensive knowledge of naval routes and exploration. Displayed in a vertical format at the Naval Museum in Santona, Colombia, this historical artifact serves as a tangible link to Spain's rich maritime heritage. The craftsmanship exhibited on this map exemplifies not only de la Cosa's mastery but also highlights how maps were essential tools for sailors navigating uncharted waters during the Modern Age. Preserved meticulously within museum walls under Santiago Ortega's expert care (not commercial use), this print allows viewers to appreciate every minute detail captured by Juan de la Cosa centuries ago. Its significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its contribution to our understanding of Spanish history and exploration during that time period.
