Painting Description
"Catania Urbs Siciliae Clarissima Patria S. Agathae Virginis Et Mart" is a historical map of the city of Catania in Sicily, created by the Dutch cartographer and publisher Pierre Mortier. The map is notable for its detailed representation of Catania as it was in the 17th century, highlighting the city's urban layout, architectural landmarks, and geographical features. It is also significant for its dedication to Saint Agatha, the patron saint of Catania, who is revered as a virgin martyr in Christian hagiography.
Pierre Mortier (1661–1711) was a prominent figure in the world of cartography and print publishing in Amsterdam during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. His works are known for their accuracy and artistic quality, often based on the cartographic findings of French geographers, which he had exclusive privilege to publish in Dutch territories.
The map "Catania Urbs Siciliae Clarissima Patria S. Agathae Virginis Et Mart" serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the baroque cartography practices of the time. It reflects the blending of scientific surveying, artistic embellishment, and cultural reverence, providing insight into the period's urban planning and the significance of religious figures in public works.
As an artifact, the map is of interest to historians, geographers, art historians, and collectors of antique maps. It contributes to the understanding of Sicilian history and heritage, as well as the broader European tradition of city mapping. The map is also an example of the international influence of Dutch cartographic publishing in the early modern period, illustrating the exchange of knowledge and culture across European borders.
