In the year 1519, history witnessed a series of remarkable events that shaped the world as we know it today. It was a time when great explorers and visionaries embarked on daring expeditions, leaving an indelible mark on human civilization. One such expedition was led by Hernan Cortes and his trusted advisor Marina. In 1519, they set foot in Mexico with the aim of conquering the Aztec Empire. Their encounter with this ancient civilization would forever change both worlds. Meanwhile, in England, John Colet commissioned Hans Holbein to paint his portrait in 1519. This masterpiece captured not only Colet's physical appearance but also his intellectual depth and influence as a leading figure of Renaissance humanism. Across the Atlantic Ocean, Pedro Menendez De Aviles established St. Augustine in Florida, marking the birthplace of European settlement in North America. The customs and sacrifices made during this period shed light on early colonial life and its impact on indigenous populations. Ferdinand Magellan embarked on his historic voyage around the globe from 1519 to 1522. His meticulously crafted map showcased his route across the vast Pacific Ocean, revealing uncharted territories and expanding our understanding of global geography. In another corner of Europe, Leonardo da Vinci's private journal from 1913 provided insights into his genius mind and artistic endeavors during this pivotal year. His relentless pursuit of knowledge continues to inspire generations even today. Portuguese cartographers created a detailed map depicting Brazil between the Amazon River and Rio de la Plata in 1519. This document served as a testament to their exploration efforts in South America while unraveling new possibilities for trade routes. Back in Mexico, Cortes strategically sank ships upon arrival to prevent any thoughts of retreat among his men—a bold move that demonstrated unwavering commitment towards achieving their mission against all odds. Da Vinci found himself immersed within London's vibrant cultural scene during 1519, where he explored his own identity through self-portraits.
