framed world map

Our selection of framed world map art features artwork from centuries past through the present day. You’ll find everything from contemporary abstract artwork to classic old world views that document a day gone by, when civilization had only partial knowledge about the continents and maps were often incomplete.

Prior to Renaissance, there was not much known about the Earth’s coastlines and as a result, people based their maps on speculations and numerous assumptions. Some of the maps were emphasizing the political structure, with countries and borders sitting at the cornerstone of these drawings. When choosing world map framed art nowadays, people make the distinction between physical or geographic maps and their political counterparts, which focus on nations and demographics.
