Historical map or chart of Magellan's voyage around the world, produced by Battista Agnese in 1545.
The map shows the world as a planisphere, indicating the continents as they were known in the mid-16th century. Magellan's voyage is traced with a black line. Outside the planisphere are the winds blowing in all directions, while allegorical figures are depicted in the corners of the map.
Battista Agnese (c. 1500 – 1564) was an Italian cartographer.
He was of Genoese origin but worked in Venice, where he was commissioned by princes, merchants and high-ranking officials.
