EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving captures a moment of awe and wonder as Willem Barentsz and his crew witness the incredible phenomena of the Sun on their exploration of Nova Zembla. The image, taken from Atlas Maior by Joan Blaeu in 1662, showcases the beauty and mystery of the Arctic landscape. As the ship sails through icy waters, surrounded by towering glaciers and snow-covered mountains, the Sun casts a mesmerizing glow over the horizon. The Novaya Zemlya effect creates a surreal mirage, distorting reality and creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Barentsz's expedition was one filled with danger and uncertainty, yet this image captures a moment of tranquility and beauty amidst the harsh conditions of the Arctic. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring spirit of exploration and discovery. The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us back in time to an era when brave sailors set out into uncharted territories in search of new lands and experiences. It is a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's breathtaking power. This print is not just a historical document; it is a work of art that invites us to contemplate our place in the vastness of the natural world. It reminds us that there is still so much left to explore and discover beyond our familiar horizons.
