EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Christoph Kolumbus, a renowned Genoese navigator and explorer who lived from 1446 to 1506. The image, taken in 1934, portrays Christopher Columbus as he embarks on his legendary journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Sponsored by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, Columbus set sail in 1492 with the ambitious goal of discovering a westward route to Asia. The photograph showcases Columbus standing confidently on deck, surrounded by the vast expanse of water that would soon lead him to new lands. Dressed in traditional attire of the era, his determined expression reflects both curiosity and courage as he sets out into uncharted territories. Columbus successfully landed on Hispaniola, an island in the Caribbean Sea which he claimed for Spain. This momentous achievement marked only the beginning of his exploration endeavors. Over time, Columbus made three more voyages to what would later be known as America. The artwork originates from "Die Groszen der Weltgelchichte" published by Eckstein-Halpaus in Dresden during 1934. It beautifully combines elements such as painting techniques and cartography to create a visually striking representation of this influential figure from history. This timeless portrait serves not only as a tribute to Christopher Columbus but also highlights the spirit of discovery that has shaped our world throughout centuries past.
