About the Item
This map, created by Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola in 1695, represents the "General Government of Guyenne and Gascony" in southwest France. Cantelli da Vignola was a renowned Italian cartographer who served the Duke of Modena. The map is dedicated to Cardinal Barberini, an influential figure in the Catholic Church.
- Gascony A historical region in southwestern France, known for its distinct culture and language.
- Guyenne: A significant province located northeast of Gascony.
- Bordeaux: A major city and port in the region, situated near the Garonne River, historically important for trade, especially in wine.
- Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic Coast: The map highlights key coastal features, such as the Isola d'Oleron and Pertuis de Maumusson.
The map focuses on important geographical, political, and coastal regions, featuring cities, rivers, mountains, and key landmarks in rich detail and color.
Upper Left Cartouche Translation and Description:
The upper left cartouche, ornately decorated with Baroque elements such as scrolls and floral details, includes an eagle emblem. It reads:
"Il Governo di Guienna e di Guascogna"
(The Government of Guyenne and Gascony)
Dedicated to the Most Illustrious and Reverend Monsignor Marcello Severoli
Referendario dell'Alma e della Sagrada Signatura, Prelato della Sacra Congregazione del Buon Governo, Avvocato Concistoriale e del Popolo Romano, Auditor Ordinario della Reverend Fabrica di San Pietro e Rotario della Signatura di Giustizia e di Grazia
(Referendary of the Holy and Sacred Signatura, Prelate of the Sacred Congregation of Good Governance, Consistorial Lawyer for the Roman People, Auditor of St Peter's Sacred Factory, and Judge of the Signatura of Justice and Grace)
This dedication is made to Marcello Severoli, a high-ranking church official with numerous titles associated with the governance of Rome and its legal institutions. The decorative style of the cartouche, featuring an eagle and ornate elements, reflects the significance of both the region of Gascony and the distinguished individual to whom it is dedicated.
Lower Cartouche Translation and Description:
The lower cartouche, positioned at the bottom of the map, follows a Baroque aesthetic with scrolls and ribbons. It reads:
"Governo Generale della Vienna e della Gvascogna"
(General Government of Guyenne and Gascony)
Delineato sulle piu precise regole geografiche da Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola, geographer of the Duke of Modena
(Drawn according to the most precise geographical rules by Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola, Geographer for the Duke of Modena)
E dedicato a Sua Eminenza Reverendissima Signor Cardinale Barberini
(Dedicated to His Eminence, the Most Reverend Cardinal Barberini)
Anno 1695
This cartouche provides information about the mapmaker, Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola, who was in the service of the Duke of Modena. It is dedicated to Cardinal Barberini, a notable figure in the Catholic Church and a member of the influential Barberini family. The mention of precise geographical rules reflects the importance placed on accuracy and detail in mapmaking during this period.
Both cartouches emphasize the map's subject, while highlighting the individuals to whom it was dedicated. This underscores the intersection of geography, politics, and patronage in 17th-century cartography, with the lavish decoration symbolizing the prominence of both the depicted region and the notable figures involved.
