    Jacob Savry, Antique Handcolor Engraved Mediterranean Map

    Est: $200 - $800

    This captivating 17th-century handcolored engraved map, titled Geographische beschryvinge van de Wandelingen der Apostelen ende de Reysen Pauli, is a masterwork by renowned Dutch cartographer Jacob Savry. The map, crafted with exquisite detail and artistry, chronicles the Mediterranean region, depicting the travels of the Apostles, particularly the missionary journeys of St. Paul. Jacob Savry was a Dutch engraver and cartographer from the Golden Age of cartography, a time when maps were not only geographic tools but also artistic expressions of knowledge and faith. This map exemplifies Savry's meticulous craftsmanship, blending geographical accuracy with rich biblical storytelling. The central map delineates the Mediterranean basin, extending from Southern Europe to the Middle East, with remarkable precision. Surrounding the map are vignettes illustrating key moments in the Apostolic journeys, bringing the narrative to life. These scenes offer a visual complement to the map's religious and educational purpose, serving as a didactic tool for audiences of the period. The inscriptions on the map are in Dutch, reflecting the Protestant Reformation's emphasis on disseminating religious knowledge through vernacular languages. This focus made maps like Savry's both valuable cultural artifacts and significant religious tools during the 17th century. Sight size: 19.50"L x 13.75"H. Frame dimensions: 30.50"L x 24.75"H x 1.25"W. Artwork can be unframed and rolled for shipment. Artist: Jacob Savry III (Flemish 1617-1666) Issued: 1648 Dimensions: See Description Country of Origin: Netherland
