Izberite eno od naših vnaprej določenih velikosti, ki ustrezajo prvotnim proporcijam umetničkega dela.
Svoje dimenzije lahko vnesete sami, da bodo ustrezne za določen okvir ali prostor. Če izbrana velikost ne bo skladna z razmerji izvirne slike, bomo umetniško delo orezali ali podaljšali s pomočjo ogledalnega odraza ali barvno polnega roba. Pred začetkom proizvodnje vam bomo poslali digitalni predogled za potrditev.
Upoštevajte, da predogled na zaslonu ne prikazuje dejanskega orezovanja ali podaljševanja. Le digitalni predogled bo natančno prikazal končno kompozicijo.
Čeprav so na voljo prilagojene velikosti, priporočamo izbiro dimenzije s predhodno določenega seznama, da ohranite prvotna razmerja.

- Background: Cresques was born into a Jewish family in Majorca, then part of the Crown of Aragon. His grandfather, Vidal Cresques, was a prominent figure within the local Jewish community. The family’s involvement in cartography and related crafts likely began before his birth.
The Catalan Atlas and Cartographic Expertise

- Commissioned by: Prince John of Aragon, intended as a gift for Charles VI of France.
- Content and Significance: The Catalan Atlas was more than just a map; it served as an encyclopedia of geographical, political, economic, and zoological information. It included the first incorporation of a compass rose on a portolan chart.
- Cartographic Style: Cresques’s work combined practical navigational charts (portolans) with decorative elements and detailed illustrations. He demonstrated expertise in geography, astronomy, and navigation.
Influences and Development
- Majorcan Cartographic School: Cresques was a leading member of the Majorcan cartographic school, which flourished during the 14th century. This school produced some of Europe’s finest nautical charts.
- Jewish Tradition in Cartography: Jews played a significant role in medieval mapmaking and instrument creation, leveraging their skills in mathematics, astronomy, and international trade.
- Arabic Influence: The cartographic traditions of the Islamic world likely influenced Cresques' work, particularly in terms of astronomical knowledge and map projections.
Legacy and Historical Significance

- Impact on Navigation: His maps facilitated trade and exploration by providing sailors with reliable navigational tools.
- Cultural Significance: The Catalan Atlas reflects the cultural and scientific advancements of 14th-century Europe, showcasing a blend of art, science, and commerce.

Later Years and Conversion of His Son
