EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Death of Magellan intervening in a fierce battle between natives on one of the islands in the Philippines. The engraving, created in 1726 by Santiago Ortega, transports us to April 27,1521, during Magellan's expedition. In this horizontal composition, we witness the struggle unfolding before our eyes. The indigenous people fiercely clash with each other as chaos reigns supreme. Amidst this turmoil stands Ferdinand Magellan himself, bravely stepping into the midst of danger to restore peace. His presence is both commanding and enigmatic. The fine details captured by Ortega's skilled hand allow us to immerse ourselves fully in this historical event. We can almost hear the sounds of clashing weapons and feel the tension that permeates through every inch of this scene. Preserved within the library of a university, this rare print serves as a testament to Spain's colonial past and its exploration endeavors during that era. With Catalonia Barcelona being its place of origin, it holds immense cultural significance for those seeking insights into Spain's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from centuries ago, let us reflect on how these events shaped not only local histories but also global narratives - forever leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
