In the year 1498, history witnessed a multitude of remarkable events and individuals that left an indelible mark on the world. It was during this time that Vasco da Gama, the intrepid Portuguese explorer, reached India, forever changing the course of trade and opening up new horizons for European powers. Meanwhile, in Italy, Girolamo Savonarola captivated audiences with his fiery sermons as he preached against corruption and immorality. His influence would eventually lead to his downfall but not before leaving an enduring legacy. As da Gama's fleet sailed towards Calicut, they established a fort along the way to secure their presence in these unfamiliar lands. This fortress served as a symbol of power and control amidst uncertain territories. While da Gama embarked on his voyage across oceans, Sampiero Corso emerged as a prominent figure in Corsica. Known for his military prowess and strategic brilliance, he played a significant role in shaping the island's destiny from 1498 to 1567. Artistic masterpieces also flourished during this period. Sandro Botticelli created "Prayer of the Garden" between 1498-1500—a painting that evokes contemplation and spirituality through its serene depiction. The Colossus of Rhodes stood tall as an engraving by Philip Galle captured its magnificence. This ancient wonder showcased human ingenuity and engineering marvels long before modern times. Similarly, another engraving by Galle immortalized the Lighthouse of Alexandria—a beacon guiding ships safely through treacherous waters—an architectural feat admired throughout history. Charles VIII received a book while being presented with grandeur—a moment captured meticulously in miniature form—symbolizing knowledge and enlightenment at its finest. Catherine of Aragon reigned over England during this era—her strength and resilience making her one of history's most influential queens whose impact is still felt today.
