Paradijs en een kaart van Azië 1590 - 1679

"Paradijs en een kaart van Azië" is a 17th-century print that depicts a scene from the Garden of Eden on the left and a map of Asia on the right. The Garden of Eden scene, likely inspired by biblical narratives, features Adam and Eve interacting with animals in a lush, detailed landscape. The Asia map, created by an anonymous artist, is a historical cartographic representation of the region, highlighting its geographical and political features. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fascinating example of the intersection of art and cartography in early modern Europe.
