This original hand-colored engraving served as the frontispiece for Johann Baptista Homann’s "Atlas Novus", a prominent atlas published in the early 18th century. The elaborate and allegorical design surrounds a central depiction of the globe, highlighting the continents and global dominions, with Europe prominently shown at the center.
The use of allegorical figures and classical references reflects the baroque artistic style of the early 18th century. The composition reinforces the idea of Europe’s dominance over the known world, with mythological figures symbolizing knowledge, power, and discovery.
