As we gaze upon this enchanting piece, we are transported back to a time when exploration was at its peak and maps were essential tools for navigating uncharted territories. With its rich historical context and artistic merit, this print allows us to appreciate both Ortelius' mastery and Ricciarini's talent in capturing fine art. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captured this image through her lens, preserving its beauty and significance for generations to come. This historical artifact not only serves as a valuable resource for understanding past civilizations but also highlights Ortelius' expertise in cartography. It provides viewers with an intricate planisphere featuring various geographical elements and landmarks. The map itself, known as "Typus Orbis Terrarum," offers a comprehensive view of the world during that era. Ortelius, a Flemish cartographer and geographer from the 16th century, meticulously crafted this map as an integral component of his famous work "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum." The level of detail and precision displayed in this engraving is truly remarkable. Created in 1570, this masterpiece is a part of the renowned collection at Biblioteca Civica Berio in Genoa, Italy. ![]() ![]() This print showcases the exquisite engraving of "Typus Orbis Terrarum, portulan" by Abraham Ortelius.

The success of this first "atlas" publication marked the beginning of the golden age of Flemish and Dutch cartography with cartographers from the Low Countries dominating the map trade until the end of the 17th century.Ĭreator: Ortelius, Abraham, 1527-1598 Name on Item: It was also translated into six other languages - German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and English. While the first edition of Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum was published in Latin in 1570, this map book was subsequently issued in 33 editions over the next 41 years. The projected southern continent was based on the reports of Magellan sighting Terra del Fuego when he rounded the tip of South America and the accounts of early Dutch discoveries along the Australian coast. Interestingly, the map prematurely showed a southern polar continent since the southern oceans had not yet been explored. It displayed almost a century of European exploration in the Americas delineating relatively accurate coast lines in the Equatorial areas, but with greatly distorted shapes in southern South America and northern and western North America. This world map was based on a large 21-sheet world map published by Ortelius' colleague, Gerard Mercator the year before. Although most of the maps in this book pertain to European countries and provinces, it can be considered a world atlas because it also includes a map of the world (displayed here), as well as one map for each of the four continents. Rather he entitled it "Theater of the World" implying not only that the entire known world could be viewed in this one book, but that the Earth was a stage on which human actions unfolded. Ortelius did not refer to his publication as an "atlas," as we know it today. It was the first time that a set of maps, contemporary to the date of publication, was designed, drawn, and engraved with the intention of publishing them in a bound volume. Ortelius' book of maps, first published in 1570, is considered the first modern world atlas.
