Sažetak
This paper looks at Majorcan cartography in the 14th-16th centuries from a History of Art perspective. Its artistic aspects are worked on, specifically the use of significant imagery and, above all, the style which distinguishes figurative representation. The results are explained by reference to the productive context and matters linked to the promotion and acquisition of the works are dealt with. By analysing 28 examples, prototypes and evolution of form can be seen; the inclusion of Marian images - new iconography used by the school with a large following later on - from 1464 is highlighted; and, from 1538, the introduction of hagiography - images which relate to the devotion of seafarers and which connect to the Venetian cartographic tradition. To distinguish possible sources of inspiration, data is analysed on the cartographers’ training, their relationships with miniaturists and painters, their method of working and the esteem in which the office was held. Finally, the appearance of charts in inventories and at auctions is analysed, to find out about the promotional sectors and differentiate between simple examples with an intended purpose, painted charts and those which were considered as luxury items as they were made using precious materials.
