EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Victoria" a Spanish carrack ship that was part of Ferdinand Magellan's Armada de Molucca. The image, created by the talented artist Abraham Ortelius in 1595, is a fine example of his exceptional cartography skills. The Victoria sailed across the vast Pacific Ocean as part of Magellan's historic circumnavigation voyage. Ortelius' watercolour and copper engraving beautifully capture the grandeur and majesty of this warship. Its intricate details highlight the craftsmanship involved in constructing such a vessel during that era. This particular print is from a private collection, adding to its rarity and value. "The Victoria" played a significant role in history as it was one of only five ships that embarked on Magellan's daring expedition to discover new trade routes to the East Indies. Despite facing numerous challenges and dangers along their journey, including storms and mutiny, "The Victoria" successfully completed the first-ever circumnavigation of the globe. This artwork not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also symbolizes human curiosity, exploration, and perseverance. It stands as a testament to mankind's unyielding spirit when faced with adversity. As we admire this remarkable piece from Ortelius' renowned series "Aus Maris Pacifici" we are reminded of how far humanity has come in our quest for knowledge about our world and beyond.
