Bring history, faith, and artistry into your home with this striking reproduction of a 17th-century map of Galilee and the Holy Land, originally designed in the ornate style of Dutch biblical cartographers.
Lavishly hand-colored and filled with intricate detail, the map depicts the lands of the Twelve Tribes of Israel with vivid borders, decorated ships, castles, mountains, and symbolic scenes from scripture. At its heart lies Galilee, with sacred places like Nazareth, Tiberias, and Mount Carmel carefully illustrated, alongside the waters of the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean Sea.
This piece isn’t just geography—it’s theology rendered as art. Inspired by Christiaan van Adrichem’s monumental Theatrum Terrae Sanctae (1590), this design exemplifies the rich tradition of biblical cartography that shaped both European scholarship and devotional culture. The map’s flourishing cartouches, Latin inscriptions, and heraldic crests transport viewers back to a time when scripture, scholarship, and artistry converged on the printed page.
