Map of the Republic of Genoa, with Milan, Parma, and Monferrato by Frederick De Wit

This refined map of the Republic of Genoa, created by Frederick De Wit, offers a detailed and artistically rich representation of Liguria and neighboring regions, including the territories of Milan, Parma, and Monferrato. The map is enhanced by an elaborate decorative cartouche featuring four heraldic coats of arms, symbols of the identity and prestige of the areas depicted. It is an emblematic example of Dutch Baroque cartography, where geographic rigor and decorative taste coexist harmoniously.

Frederick De Wit, one of the most renowned cartographers of the 17th century, published this map during the golden age of Dutch cartography. Active in Amsterdam, where he founded the famous printing house "de Witte Paskaert," De Wit distinguished himself through the elegance and precision of his works, many of which were compiled into highly sought-after atlases today. This map is a collector's item of extraordinary historical and artistic value, perfect for scholars, enthusiasts, and collectors of antique cartography.
