Arrival Iberian Maritime Peninsula Phoenician Santiago Ortega
EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing, titled "Arrival of the Phoenicians to the coast of the Iberian Peninsula" takes us back in time to the ancient world. Created in 1900 by Santiago Ortega, this piece beautifully captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of Phoenician traders on the shores of Iberia. The artist's use of color and attention to detail transport us to this maritime scene from the 13th-6th centuries BC. The vibrant hues bring life to every element, from the deep blue sea that stretches into infinity, contrasting with the warm tones of sandy beaches and lush greenery along the coastline. Intriguingly horizontal, this artwork invites viewers to immerse themselves in its narrative. We witness a fleet of Phoenician ships gracefully docking near an Iberian settlement. This encounter marked not only a pivotal point for trade but also cultural exchange between these two civilizations. As we gaze upon this print held within a private collection, we are reminded of how art can serve as a window into our past. It sparks curiosity about ancient seafaring journeys and ignites our imagination regarding what transpired during those times. Let us appreciate this historical masterpiece for its ability to preserve moments like these and inspire further exploration into our rich heritage.
