EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Frontispiece to Nova Reperta (New Discoveries)" takes us on a journey through time and space. Engraved by Theodor Galle in the early 17th century, it showcases the brilliance of Jan van der Straet's original work. With later coloration added, this piece comes alive with vibrant hues that enhance its intricate details. At first glance, we are drawn to the central figure - Christopher Columbus himself. Mounted on a majestic saddle atop a rearing horse, he symbolizes the spirit of exploration and discovery that defined his era. Surrounding him are various elements representing groundbreaking inventions and discoveries of the time. A magnificent clock reminds us of mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and progress. Stirrups and saddles reflect advancements in equestrian technology while gunpowder signifies revolutionary weaponry developments. A lodestone hints at magnetic discoveries that revolutionized navigation techniques during maritime expeditions. The presence of Amerigo Vespucci suggests an acknowledgement of his significant contributions to cartography as well as his role in naming America after himself. As our eyes wander across this rich tapestry, we cannot help but marvel at how these diverse elements intertwine seamlessly into one harmonious composition. This print serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity and ingenuity throughout history. Now preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this Netherlandish masterpiece continues to inspire awe and fascination for those fortunate enough to behold it.
