Robert Hoglund’s John Speed 1626 reimagines the antique world map with a richly textured, contemporary surface. The dual hemispheres—Americas on the left, Europe, Africa, and Asia on the right—float within an aged, earth‑toned field touched by gold accents. Smaller celestial and navigational diagrams surround the map, echoing the exploratory spirit of the 17th century. The layered mixed‑media treatment gives the piece a sense of history unearthed, blending cartographic detail with painterly warmth.
