DescriptionWit Novissima et Accuratissima Septentrionalis ac Meridionalis Americae 1680 UTA.jpg |
English: Dutch engraver and map-seller Frederick de Wit's map of the Americas from the 1670s has a finely rendered Baroque cartouche borne above by a winged angel and an allegorical figure of a beautiful woman clothed in swirling drapery carrying a small cross. Seventeenth-century viewers would probably have interpreted her as representing Christianity, the Church, or true religion, which, by her high or elevated position, overpowers other, less appealing allegorical figures representing America (at left with a feather headdress) and particularly heresy or false religion (at right with demon-like claws on feet and hands). Although engraver and map-seller Frederick de Wit was a Catholic residing in Protestant Amsterdam, the rolls of the city council for 1694-1704 nevertheless listed him among the "goede mannen" (excellent citizens). |
