EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Columbus Landing in the Indies. 1594" captures a significant moment in history when Christopher Columbus first set foot on the shores of the New World. The xylography, created by Theodor de Bry, beautifully depicts this pivotal encounter between Columbus and the indigenous people of Guanahani Island (now San Salvador) or Hispaniola. In this scene, we see Columbus surrounded by his crew members and native Indians as they exchange gifts. The Catholic sailor, who discovered America in 1492 under the service of the Catholic Monarchs, stands tall with a cross held firmly in his hand symbolizing Christianity's arrival to these lands. The vibrant colors used in this engraving bring life to every detail - from the majestic caravel anchored near the shore to the soldiers standing guard on land. It is evident that both parties are curious about each other's culture and traditions. This image not only represents an important historical event but also highlights themes such as exploration, evangelization, and colonization. It serves as a reminder of how different civilizations collided during this era of discovery. As we gaze upon this artwork captured through xylography techniques, we are transported back to that fateful day in October 1492 when Christopher Columbus forever changed our understanding of geography and opened up new possibilities for exploration and trade between Europe and America.
