The Holy Land

 

Abraham Patriarchae Peregrinatio et Vita  
Abraham Ortelius, 1595

Abraham Ortelius published this intricate mapping of the Holy Land in his famous atlas of maps, “Theatrum Orbis Terrarum” in Antwerp in 1595. The Ortelius atlas is sometimes referred to as the summary of sixteenth-century cartography. Many of his atlas' maps were based upon sources that no longer exist or are extremely rare.  

His exceptional talents as a cartographer, historian and artist culminated in his creation of this biblically themed engraving  with twenty-two medallions depicting the life of Abraham the Patriarch. This beautiful canvas Giclée also includes an elaborate, biblical cartouche and a framed inscription of Abraham's promise.
