EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned Spanish photographer Miquel Blay i Fabregues in 1924, showcases a detailed view of the upper part of the Monument to Vasco Núñez de Balboa in Panama City, Panama. The monument, dedicated to the Spanish explorer who led the first European expedition to cross the Isthmus of Panama and sight the Pacific Ocean in 1513, stands proudly in Balboa Square. The sculpture, created by Mariano Benlliure y Gil in 1922, depicts Balboa in his iconic pose, with one hand on his sword and the other pointing towards the Pacific. The figure is a free-standing, round bronze sculpture that stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural connections between Spain and Panama. The photograph captures the monument in daylight, with the sunlight casting a warm glow on the bronze figure and the surrounding square. The vibrant colors and clear details of the image bring the historical figure and the monument to life, transporting viewers to the bustling city of Panama and the rich history of the Americas. The monument serves as a reminder of the significant role Spain and Spanish explorers played in the exploration and colonization of the American continents. The intricate details of the sculpture, from the folds in Balboa's cloak to the intricate design of the base, are beautifully captured in this photograph, making it a must-see for history and photography enthusiasts alike.
