Description

‘Typo de la Carta Cosmographica de Gaspar Vopellio Medeburgense’

Oil painting on canvas.

Size: c. 176 x 66 cm.

Provenance: From a Versailles (France) private collection. The painting is probably of 17th. c. Spanish / Catalan origin given the added painted texts in Spanish / Catalan.

This painting is made after a 12 sheet wall map made in 1545 by Caspar Vopell, titled ‘Nova et integra univerlisque …’, copies of which are no longer in existence.  This lost map is only known from derivative maps by Andrea Vavassare (1558), van der Putte and a smaller size woodcut map by Geronimo Girava (Milan, 1556). This map has the same projection as the Walseemuller world map.

Caspar Vopell / Vopelius / Vopel or Meydebachius (Medebach 1511 – Koln 1561) was a German astronomer, instrument maker, globe maker and cartographer.
