Antique Canvases
Our handcrafted canvases are of two types: meticulous reproductions of antique prints that present the boundaries and forms of the known world based on the latest geographical discoveries; and magnificent perspective views of Italian and European cities, small pearls of cartographic art that take you back in time.
On this page you can admire antique planispheres designed by the best geographical ateliers of centuries past, in the wake of the adventurous exploits of 16th, 17th and 18th century explorers.
You will also find some exemplary maps of Italy, represented in the most fascinating forms and styles.
The subjects are printed using zinc plates and a hand press which give the pieces one of their main and unmistakable qualities: engraving. They are then enriched by the use of pure cotton paper which is, in turn, mounted onto canvas of the same material.
