EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the departure of Christopher Columbus and his caravels from Spain on August 3,1492. The detail of this engraving, taken from Honorius Philoponus' Nova typis transacta navigato novi orbis Indiae Occidentalis, showcases the grandeur and excitement surrounding this expedition. In the image, we see three caravels - the Santa Maria, Pinta, and Nina - setting sail into the vast Atlantic Ocean. These ships symbolize hope and ambition as they embark on a voyage that would forever change our understanding of the world. The scene is filled with anticipation as men and women gather on the beach to bid farewell to their loved ones. Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon stand proudly alongside Christopher Columbus himself, supporting his audacious quest for new lands. This engraving beautifully encapsulates the spirit of exploration during the Renaissance era. It transports us back to a time when brave navigators like Columbus dared to challenge conventional wisdom and venture into uncharted territories. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry from Venice in 1621, let us reflect on how these caravels paved the way for future discoveries in what would later be known as "the New World". This image serves as a reminder that curiosity knows no bounds and that human ingenuity can lead us to extraordinary places.
