EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "How they knew the Earth is round" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts members of Ferdinand Magellan's expedition who had embarked on a daring voyage to prove that the Earth was indeed round. As we gaze upon this print, we witness a joyous meeting between sailors from different parts of the world at Tidore. The scene unfolds on an idyllic island in the Pacific Ocean, where Portuguese and Spanish explorers come together after circumnavigating the globe. Their ships rest peacefully in the port as crew members celebrate their remarkable achievement. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and triumph, as these brave individuals have shattered long-held beliefs about our planet's shape. Intricately engraved details bring this historical event to life: sailors embrace each other warmly, exchanging greetings across language barriers. The diversity among them reflects Europe's spirit of exploration during the 16th century when nations vied for supremacy through maritime expeditions. This lithograph not only captures a pivotal moment but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination. It reminds us of how far we have come in understanding our world and encourages us to continue pushing boundaries in search of knowledge. As we admire this artwork from Fine Art Finder, let it inspire us to embark on our own journeys of discovery – both within ourselves and out into the vast expanse of our beautiful planet.
