Among the most beautiful and compelling works of the Renaissance art, painted maps adorned the halls and galleries of princely palaces.  

Focused on two of the most significant and marvelous surviving Italian map murals—the Guardaroba Nuova of the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, commissioned by the Duke Cosimo de’Medici, and the Gallery of Maps in the Vatican, commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII.
