EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a detailed map of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, dating back to the 16th century. Created by an unknown artist from the Portuguese School, this vellum artwork showcases intricate cartography skills and vibrant colors.
The scale of approximately 1:14,500,000 allows for a comprehensive view of the coastlines, cities, and towns along these historic waterways. The inclusion of flags adds a touch of authenticity to this maritime masterpiece.
As moonlight gently illuminates the seas depicted in this manuscript, one can almost imagine ancient sailors navigating their way through these waters. The artistry and attention to detail in this piece make it a true work of art that reflects both the geographical knowledge and artistic techniques of its time.
From Iran to Oman, every place on this map is meticulously rendered with precision and care. This print serves as not only a historical document but also as a visual representation of the interconnectedness between different cultures in the Middle East during the 16th century.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK, this piece is a testament to human curiosity and exploration throughout history. It stands as a reminder of our enduring fascination with maps and our desire to understand the world around us.
