Provincia Auctore Petro Joanne Bompario is an elegant seventeenth-century map of the historic region of Provence, published by the renowned Dutch cartographic publishers Willem Janszoon Blaeu and Joan Blaeu. Created around 1640, the map was based on the work of the Provençal geographer Pierre Jean Bompar and formed part of the Blaeu family’s celebrated atlases, considered among the finest cartographic achievements of the Dutch Golden Age.

The map presents a detailed representation of Provence, extending from the lower Rhône Valley to the Mediterranean coast. Major cities, towns, rivers, mountain ranges, and transportation routes are carefully engraved, illustrating the geography of one of France’s most historically significant regions. Important urban centers such as Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, and Arles are prominently identified, reflecting their commercial and political importance.

Particular attention is given to the Mediterranean coastline, ports, and inland routes that connected Provence to broader European trade networks. The map reveals the region’s strategic position between Italy, France, and the Mediterranean world, a role it had played since Roman antiquity.

Like many Blaeu maps, the work combines scientific accuracy with decorative sophistication. Elegant cartouches, finely engraved typography, and balanced composition transform the map into both a geographic document and a work of art. The careful rendering of mountains, rivers, and settlements reflects the high standards of Dutch cartographic production during the seventeenth century.
