EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment that forever changed the course of naval warfare. Entitled "The end of the Invincible Armada off Scotland" this image is based on an engraving found in the Atlas of Abraham Ortelius, published in Antwerp in 1600. In this scene, we witness a fierce battle between England and Spain during the late 16th century. The Spanish Armada, known as the Invincible Armada, was considered unbeatable at that time. However, fate had different plans as they faced their ultimate defeat off the coast of Scotland. The artist Giancarlo Costa skillfully brings this epic clash to life through his intricate detailing and masterful use of light and shadow. The turbulent waters reflect the intensity of combat as British and Spanish ships engage each other with cannons blazing. This print not only showcases a pivotal moment in history but also highlights Ortelius' contribution to cartography by including geographical elements within the artwork. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture significant events while providing valuable insights into our past. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this remarkable piece invites viewers to delve into maritime history and marvel at both its artistic beauty and historical significance.
