The World Painted

The World Painted is a physical world wall map that unites hand-painted artistry with precise cartography. Its watercolour basemap brings mountains, plains, oceans and polar ice to life, while cartographic overlays — from projection choices to carefully designed labels — ensure clarity and accuracy.

Over 2,000 names mark cities, mountains, rivers, seas and islands, all arranged with balance and readability in mind. Polar insets highlight sea ice and research stations, making high latitudes easy to explore. The Robinson projection provides a harmonious view of the world, and a subtle starry backdrop nods to the tradition of classic maps where Earth floated in space.

Celebrated by cartographers and enthusiasts alike, The World Painted is both a work of art and a map that rewards close study. Perfect for a living room, office or classroom, it invites you to rediscover the beauty of our planet every time you look at it.
