EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a world map tracing the remarkable voyage of Ferdinand Magellan, as depicted in the Portolan Atlas of the World from around 1540. Created by Italian cartographer Battista Agnese, this engraving offers a historical glimpse into Magellan's groundbreaking exploration. The intricate details on this map highlight the route taken by Magellan during his famous circumnavigation of the globe. From Europe to South America, through treacherous waters and uncharted territories, this visual representation captures the audacity and ambition of one man's quest for discovery. As cherubs gracefully float amidst swirling winds on either side of the map, they symbolize both divine protection and celestial guidance throughout Magellan's perilous journey. The inclusion of these cherubs adds an ethereal touch to an otherwise factual depiction. This print not only serves as a testament to human curiosity but also commemorates Magellan's significant contribution to our understanding of global geography. It reminds us that there was once a time when vast parts of our planet were unknown and unexplored. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historic artifact invites us to reflect upon our own place in history while marveling at how far we have come since Magellan set sail centuries ago.
