The Ducato di Normandia, engraved by Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650–1718) around 1690, is a superb example of late 17th-century Italian cartography, combining scientific precision with the ornate artistry that made Coronelli one of the greatest mapmakers of his age. This map presents the historic Duchy of Normandy, a region of northern France renowned for its medieval heritage, rich agricultural lands, and enduring role in European history.

Coronelli’s depiction of Normandy extends from the English Channel to the valleys of the Seine, encompassing cities such as Rouen, Caen, Bayeux, Avranches, and Cherbourg. The engraving’s clarity and accuracy reflect his mastery of geographic representation, while the inclusion of topographical features, rivers, forests, and coastal details demonstrates his commitment to both beauty and functionality.

As the official cosmographer of the Republic of Venice, Coronelli was celebrated for his monumental globes and atlases, including the Atlante Veneto and Corso Geografico Universale, from which this map originates. His Ducato di Normandia exemplifies his approach to mapmaking—an integration of scientific inquiry, aesthetic composition, and encyclopedic knowledge.

The map’s elegant title cartouche, adorned with Baroque ornamentation and heraldic symbols, underscores Normandy’s historical importance as a duchy once linked to the kings of England and France. The engraving’s fine typography, balanced composition, and crisp linework reflect the exceptional craftsmanship of Venetian printing at the height of its cultural power.
