EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NINA: WORLD MAP, 1500" takes us back to the early years of exploration and discovery. Created by Juan de la Cosa, a skilled navigator on Christopher Columbus' second voyage in 1493-94, this world map offers a glimpse into the Renaissance era of cartography. The intricate details showcased in this print highlight the ambition and curiosity that fueled expeditions during the Age of Discovery. As we study the map, we can trace Columbus' journey across the vast Atlantic Ocean towards uncharted territories. The Caribbean islands emerge as key landmarks, representing new lands encountered by European explorers. The artist's skillful rendering transports us to an era when maps were not only tools for navigation but also works of art. With delicate brushstrokes and precise attention to detail, Juan de la Cosa captures Africa's coastline extending eastward towards Asia while Spain proudly stands at its center. This remarkable piece from Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection invites us to reflect on humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and adventure. It serves as a reminder that it was through courageous individuals like Columbus and his crew aboard the Nina that our understanding of the world expanded exponentially. As we admire this historical artifact turned artwork, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its significance in shaping our collective history.
