EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 16th century - a Portolan chart of the Ottoman Empire by Ioannes Superantius. The intricate details and artistry in this map are truly awe-inspiring. The chart, carefully crafted with precision and expertise, depicts the vast expanse of the Ottoman Empire during that era. It offers a unique glimpse into the physical geography and coastline of Greece and its surrounding islands, as well as Turkey's peninsula. The inclusion of coat of arms adds an element of historical significance to this artwork. In this studio shot, we see the vertical composition capturing every minute detail on this ancient map. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on admiring its beauty and appreciating its historical value. Ioannes Superantius' mastery in cartography is evident through his use of vibrant colors, delicate illustrations, and accurate portrayal of geographical features. The compass rose serves as both a navigational tool for sailors at that time and an artistic embellishment. As we gaze upon this portolan chart, we are transported back in time to explore the rich history embedded within it. This photograph preserves not only a work of art but also our connection to the past - reminding us how far we have come while honoring those who came before us in their pursuit for knowledge and understanding through maps like these.
