Arrivee Charity Christophe Colomb Soup Tonsure

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - "The Arrival of Christopher Columbus with his Son at the Monastery of la Rabida". Published in Barcelona in 1878, this color lithograph by Puiggari, R. beautifully depicts the renowned explorer's arrival at the monastery. In this scene, we see Columbus and his young son standing before the grand entrance of the monastery. The monk warmly welcomes them, extending a bowl of soup as an act of charity and hospitality. The contrast between their humble attire and the majestic surroundings creates a poignant visual narrative. Columbus himself is portrayed with great detail, showcasing his iconic presence and determination. His son stands beside him, mirroring his father's sense of adventure and curiosity about what lies beyond these walls. The image also highlights various symbolic elements: from Columbus' tonsure hairstyle representing devotion to God, to the historical significance of this encounter as it paved the way for one of humanity's greatest discoveries - America. Bridgeman Images has done justice to this remarkable artwork through its fine art printing techniques. This print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also invites us to reflect on our collective past and appreciate those who have shaped our world through their courage and exploration.
