This splendid map of the Kingdom of Sicily, created by Nicolaes Visscher I, represents an exceptional example of 17th-century Dutch cartography. It depicts Sicily, Malta, part of the Neapolitan coast, and sections of Sardinia with extraordinary geographical precision, using vibrant colors and embellished with gold leaf details. The still intense chromatic rendition testifies to the quality of the work and its excellent preservation.
The map is enriched by a large decorative cartouche containing two noble coats of arms, symbolizing the political and historical importance of the depicted area. At the bottom, a refined ornamental military scale adds artistic and functional value to the document. This is a rare period specimen, ideal for collectors, scholars, or enthusiasts of Mediterranean history and cartographic art.
