Italy - Venice

This image shows the famous historical map titled "Dominium Venetum cum adjacentibus", engraved by the important German cartographer Matthäus Seutter and published in Augsburg in the first half of the 18th century (circa 1740-1744). It is a copper-engraved print in watercolor, originally included in his renowned pocket-sized cartographic work, the Atlas Minor. Details and Main Features • Territory Depicted: The map focuses on the Mainland Domain of the Republic of Venice and the adjacent geographical areas of Northern Italy. The political division of the territory is emphasized by the different watercolor colors: • In yellow the Venetian possessions (including present-day Veneto, Friuli, Istria and part of eastern Lombardy such as Brescia and Bergamo). • In green the Duchy of Milan. • In pink/red the southern territories, including the Duchy of Mantua, the Duchy of Modena and Reggio, the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza and the northern portions of the Papal States. • Decorative Elements: • Title Cartouche: Positioned in the upper left, it features a rich Baroque allegorical apparatus with figures and emblems surrounding the complete Latin title. • Scale bar: Located in the lower right corner, it includes three different measurement scales (German miles, French miles and Italian miles), framed by Neptune-like mythological sea figures.
