EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the departure of John and Sebastian Cabot from the bustling port of Bristol on their first voyage of discovery in 1497. Painted by Ernest Board in 1906, this oil on canvas artwork showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intricate details. The scene is set against a backdrop of a medieval quay, with majestic ships ready to embark on an epic adventure. The cardinal's presence adds an air of importance and blessing to the expedition, while sea gulls soar above, symbolizing freedom and exploration. John Cabot stands tall as he bids farewell to his son Sebastian, both adorned in regal attire. Their portraits exude determination and anticipation for what lies ahead. This painting beautifully portrays the bond between father and son as they venture into uncharted territories. Matthew, Bishop of Bristol at that time, watches over them with a mix of pride and concern. His presence reminds us that this voyage was not only about discovery but also carried religious undertones. Through its pre-Raphaelite style, this artwork transports us back to the fifteenth century when brave explorers like John Cabot pushed boundaries beyond imagination. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and ambition that led to significant discoveries during the Age of Exploration. Displayed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this painting continues to inspire awe among visitors who appreciate its historical significance and artistic
