EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Boabdil surrenders Granada to the Catholic crown. The Spanish School of the 19th century beautifully depicts this significant event in a large chromolithograph. The image showcases the tension and drama of the surrender, as Boabdil, accompanied by his entourage, hands over the keys of Granada to representatives of the Catholic crown. The illustration is taken from Cristobal Colon by Conde Roselly de Lorgues, translated into Spanish by D Pelegrin Casabo y Pages in 1878. It serves as a visual representation of this pivotal moment in history when Christian forces finally conquered Muslim-ruled Granada after years of siege. Intriguingly, this artwork also connects with another renowned explorer - Christopher Columbus. As he set out on his journey across uncharted waters just a few years later, Columbus would have been aware that he was sailing under the same flag that triumphed over Boabdil's surrender. This print not only offers an insight into historical conquests but also highlights themes such as exploration and travel. It reminds us how different cultures collided during these tumultuous times and how their legacies continue to shape our world today.
