This reproduction of an antique illustration offers a panoramic view of the coasts of Provence, stretching from La Ciotat to the Gulf of Cannes. The work details the ports, bays, and islands bordering the Mediterranean, all framed by ornamental motifs and symbolic figures. The chromatic balance between the beige of the ancient paper and the touches of blue underlines the elegance of this documentary composition.
The original document is part of the Recueil des cartes des costes maritimes du Royaume, published in 1680. This ambitious project, driven by Colbert and executed by Clerville, aimed to map the shores of southern France with splendor. This plate is a remarkable example of Baroque cartography, where naval utility meets Versailles decorative art.
Valued for its historical and aesthetic dimension, this reproduction is perfectly suited for lovers of Provençal coastal history. It can be exhibited as a collector's piece or used to create a vintage and scholarly atmosphere in an office or a living room, celebrating the timeless beauty of the French Riviera.
