EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Christopher Columbus and the Pinzon brothers set sail from the port of Palos in Spain on March 8,1492, embarking on their monumental journey to the New World. The engraving by Theodore de Bry, featured in "Admirante Narratio - Americae" in 1655, beautifully portrays this pivotal event in history. In the foreground of the image, we see three ships ready to brave uncharted waters: Columbus' flagship Santa Maria and two smaller caravels commanded by Martin Alonso Pinzon and Vicente Yanez Pinzon. As they depart from Palos harbor, a sense of anticipation fills the air as these intrepid explorers venture into unknown territories. On the right side of the engraving stands King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella Iere of Castile. Their presence symbolizes royal support for Columbus' ambitious expedition and highlights their role as patrons who funded his voyage. This image not only showcases an important moment in European exploration but also represents a turning point in world history. It marks the beginning of extensive colonialism that would shape continents and cultures for centuries to come. Giancarlo Costa's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating this engraving and its historical significance. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when bold individuals like Christopher Columbus dared to challenge conventional wisdom and embark on extraordinary journeys into uncharted territories.
