Abraham, Ortelius, 1527 - 1598, A Poster of a man with a white beard
From our Expressive Drawings Collection – This style could be described as “expressive sketch realism”, in which the artist emphasizes emotional depth through rough, organic strokes and a restrained use of color. It has a hand-drawn, unfinished quality that makes the work feel intimate and evocative.
Abraham Ortelius, a renowned 16th-century cartographer and geographer, is depicted in this captivating print. His portrait showcases an air of wisdom and determination, with his long white beard and piercing gaze. As a pioneer in the field of mapmaking, Ortelius transformed geography from a speculative discipline to a more accurate and scientific one. His iconic map of the world, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," published in 1570, revolutionized cartography and set the standard for future mapmakers. This print not only captures Ortelius' physical likeness but also pays homage to his enduring contributions to the cartographic arts.
