EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of Vasco de Gama, the renowned Portuguese explorer, from "The Luciad, or Purtugals Historicall Poem" by Luis de Camoens. Created in the 17th century by an anonymous artist from the Portuguese School, this exquisite piece is now part of a private collection. Vasco de Gama's resolute gaze and commanding presence are beautifully captured in this artwork. Dressed in his distinguished armor adorned with a prominent cross symbolizing his faith and devotion, he stands tall with a feather plume hat and mantle adding to his regal appearance. His well-groomed beard adds an air of wisdom and experience to his countenance. As one of history's most celebrated navigators and explorers, Vasco de Gama holds a staff that represents both authority and leadership. This image serves as a testament to his significant contributions during the Age of Discovery when he successfully established trade routes between Europe and India. "The Luciad" was translated into English by Sir Richard Fanshaw in 1655, further immortalizing Vasco de Gama's legacy for generations to come. The attention to detail in this engraving highlights not only the skillful craftsmanship but also the admiration held for this legendary figure. This print captures not just an artistic masterpiece but also pays homage to Vasco de Gama's pivotal role in shaping world history through exploration and discovery.
