An impressive and large map of the Gulf of Venice and the Adriatic Sea illustrates the theater of the Ottoman-Venetian Wars. The map covers the eastern coast of Italy and follows the coastline of the Adriatic to the Balkan states. The region was contested between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice from the 15th through the early 18th centuries with seven major conflicts. Political divisions are shown in different colors and each has their respective coat of arms displayed. Decorative cartouche at lower left features the plans for 22 different coastal fortifications surrounding a map of Venice and topped by the Hapsburg coat of arms. At top right cartouche depicts a winged and crowned lion with the gospel representing the Republic of Venice. The map is based on the cartography of Coronelli and Sanson and was published by Covens and Mortier.
