La región magallánica en la cartografía mural italiana del siglo XVI
2025
Overview
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of 16th-century Italian mural cartography, focusing on geographical representations of the Magellan region and the Strait of Magellan. Through frescoes and maps in Renaissance palaces like the Vatican and Palazzo Farnese, it examines how Italy, despite not being a maritime power, used mural art to reflect the geographical knowledge acquired from the great discoveries of the time. The paper highlights the intent behind these representations, which aimed to display power, wealth, and prestige, rather than provide accurate information about the geography of the world. Una cartela ornamental ubicada en la parte inferior derecha contiene un resumen de la expedición descubridora de Fernando de Magallanes, desde su partida en 1520 hasta el retorno solitario de la nao Victoria en 1522 (Fig. 1).
