1446 1506 Columbus Foreigner Mocked
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in the life of Christopher Columbus, as he arrives in Spain from his birthplace in Italy, facing mockery and skepticism from the local population. The scene is set in the 15th century, around 1446 to 1506, a time when the world was on the brink of significant expansion and discovery. Columbus, with his bold vision of reaching the East Indies by sailing west, was met with disbelief and ridicule by the Spanish, who saw him as an outsider and a foreigner. The print captures the essence of this moment, with Columbus standing confidently in the foreground, dressed in the attire of an Italian merchant, while a group of Spanish men gather around him, pointing and laughing. The expression on Columbus' face is determined and unwavering, as he holds out a map, illustrating his proposed route to the East Indies. The backdrop of the print is a bustling Spanish marketplace, with merchants haggling over goods and children playing in the streets, adding to the vibrant and lively atmosphere. Despite the initial rejection, Columbus' perseverance paid off, as he eventually secured the support of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, leading to his historic voyage in 1492 and the discovery of the New World. This print is a testament to the power of determination and the importance of not letting adversity deter one from pursuing their dreams, even in the face of mockery and skepticism.
