UNBOUND: THE CARTOGRAPHY ART BOOK
Francesca Baerald
UNBOUND is a lavish celebration of the video game worlds brought to life through the cartography of Italian artist Francesca Baerald. Across 320 oversized pages, the book collects a selection of Baerald’s intricately crafted maps, including work created for major gaming properties such as Diablo, Final Fantasy, and Horizon Zero Dawn.
Working primarily with traditional materials including watercolor, ink, acrylic, and oils, Baerald has spent more than a decade visualizing fantasy landscapes for video games, tabletop games, RPGs, and other fictional worlds. UNBOUND showcases these maps in full views, detailed close-ups, and expansive spreads, revealing the remarkable craftsmanship behind locations players may already know from their adventures.
Alongside the artwork, Baerald provides personal anecdotes, commentary, and behind-the-scenes insight into her creative process, exploring how imaginary worlds are transformed into believable geography. For video game fans, UNBOUND offers a rare look at cartography as an essential form of game art—one that helps define the worlds players explore long before they reach their destination.
