EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable representation of the Canary Islands through an ancient map known as "Isolario" by Benedetto Bordone. Created in Venice in 1547, this Italian masterpiece takes us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the world of exploration and colonialism. The intricate engraving depicts the geographical layout of these enchanting islands situated in the vast Atlantic Ocean. As we observe this historical artifact, we are transported to an era where discovery was at its peak and boundaries were being pushed. Bordone's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. The map not only serves as a navigational tool but also tells a story of cultural exchange between Spain and Italy during that time period. It symbolizes their shared interest in expanding knowledge about distant lands. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this rare print, preserving its essence for generations to come. Through his lens, we can appreciate the beauty and significance of this piece within our own contemporary context. As we gaze upon this photograph, let us reflect on how far humanity has come since those days of exploration and colonization. May it serve as a reminder that history holds valuable lessons for us all – lessons about curiosity, resilience, and our interconnectedness with one another across time and space.
