EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the collaboration between Italian-Spanish navigator and explorer, Alejandro Malaspina, and Filipino painter Fernando Brambila in the 18th century. The drawing by Brambila illustrates Malaspina's scientific expedition from 1789 to 1794, showcasing a square and cathedral in Manila, Philippines.
The intricate details of this lithograph highlight the intersection of art, knowledge, and history during a time of European imperialism in Southeast Asia. The black and white imagery evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when Spain's influence extended to distant lands like Luzon.
Displayed at the Navy Museum in Madrid, this piece serves as a reminder of the cultural exchange that took place between East and West centuries ago. It symbolizes the curiosity and exploration that defined Malaspina's legacy as a pioneering navigator.
Through this print by Esteban/AIC, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur of Manila through Brambila's eyes. It is a testament to the enduring impact of individuals like Malaspina who sought to expand our understanding of the world through their daring expeditions.
