EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the era of exploration and discovery. The image showcases a Caravel, a small and nimble ship that played a significant role in Christopher Columbus' voyages to the New World. This particular woodcut is from "la Historia general de las Indias" a renowned journal documenting Columbus' expeditions. The Caravel stands tall against the vastness of the sea, its sails billowing with the wind as it glides through uncharted waters. The sailors on board are depicted diligently navigating their way towards new horizons, guided by both the sun and moon shining brightly above them. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves transported onto that ship, experiencing firsthand the excitement and uncertainty of these brave explorers. We imagine ourselves standing alongside them on deck, feeling the salty breeze brush against our faces as we peer out into the distance, searching for any signs of land or adventure. This image serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and discovery. It captures not only an important moment in history but also symbolizes our innate desire to push boundaries and explore beyond what is known. Through this remarkable woodcut print, we are invited to embark on our own journey of imagination and reflection – one that celebrates courage, curiosity, and mankind's relentless pursuit of understanding.
