EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Vasco da Gama (1460-1524), the first European explorer to reach India by sea, making him a pivotal figure in the history of maritime exploration. Born in Sines, Portugal, da Gama embarked on his groundbreaking voyage in 1497, navigating the Atlantic Ocean and rounding the Cape of Good Hope. His journey opened up a new sea route from Europe to India, revolutionizing trade and cultural exchange between the two continents during the modern period. Da Gama's historic voyage took place during the 15th and 16th centuries, a time when European powers were eager to expand their territories and establish new trade routes. As the 1st Count of Vidigueira, da Gama's achievements earned him great recognition and honor in Portugal. This engraving, which dates back to 1883, is now held at the Museo Militar in Madrid. It showcases da Gama in his prime, standing tall and confident as a mariner and navigator. He is depicted wearing the attire of a Portuguese nobleman, complete with a hat adorned with the cross of the Order of Christ. The later coloration adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating representation of a man who connected Europe and the Indian subcontinent through his geographical explorations. As a testament to his enduring legacy, Vasco da Gama's voyage marked the beginning of Portugal's dominance in Asian trade and colonial expansion. His courageous journey across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans opened up a new world of opportunities for exploration, discovery, and cultural exchange. This engraving serves as a reminder of the incredible achievements of one of history's most intrepid explorers.
