Egnazio Danti's "Map of Brazil" is a significant cartographic work created during the Renaissance period, reflecting the burgeoning European interest in the New World. Egnazio Danti (1536–1586), an Italian Dominican friar, mathematician, and cartographer, was renowned for his contributions to the field of geography and his role in the creation of detailed maps that were both scientifically advanced and artistically impressive. His "Map of Brazil" is part of a larger collection of maps that Danti produced for the Vatican, under the patronage of Pope Gregory XIII.

The "Map of Brazil" was created in the late 16th century, a time when European explorers were extensively mapping the newly discovered territories in the Americas. Danti's work is notable for its accuracy and the inclusion of detailed geographical features, which were based on the latest reports from explorers and navigators of the time. This map not only served as a navigational aid but also as a tool for understanding the vast and diverse landscapes of Brazil, which was then a Portuguese colony.

Danti's maps were characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and artistic quality. The "Map of Brazil" is no exception, featuring intricate illustrations of the coastline, rivers, and mountain ranges. Additionally, it includes depictions of indigenous settlements and annotations that provide insights into the cultural and natural aspects of the region. These elements highlight Danti's dual focus on scientific precision and aesthetic presentation, making his maps valuable both as navigational tools and as works of art.

The creation of the "Map of Brazil" was part of a broader effort by the Catholic Church to document and understand the world during the Age of Exploration. Danti's work contributed to the Vatican's collection of maps, which were used to educate and inform both church officials and the broader public about the expanding world. Today, Danti's "Map of Brazil" is recognized as an important historical document, offering a glimpse into the early European perceptions of South America and the cartographic practices of the Renaissance.
