1446 1506 Backing Columbus Explains Isabela Obtains Project
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Obtaining Royal Backing: Columbus Presents His Expedition Proposal to Ferdinand and Isabela, 1492" This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the history of exploration as Christopher Columbus, the intrepid Italian navigator, presents his ambitious project to the reigning monarchs of Spain, Ferdinand and Isabela. The scene is set in the Alhambra Palace, Granada, in the year 1492. Columbus, with a determined expression and confident posture, explains the potential rewards of his proposed expedition to reach the East Indies by sailing westward across the Atlantic Ocean. He holds out a map, pointing towards the unexplored territories, as he passionately conveys his vision to the intrigued and attentive monarchs. Ferdinand and Isabela, depicted here in regal attire, listen intently as Columbus outlines the benefits of their investment in his expedition. Their faces show a mix of curiosity, skepticism, and intrigue. The queen, Isabela, leans forward, her hands folded in thought, while King Ferdinand, with a thoughtful expression, looks intently at the map. This card series, part of the rich historical record, documents the pivotal moment when Columbus secured the backing of the Spanish monarchs for his groundbreaking voyage. The success of his expedition would forever change the course of history, leading to the discovery of the New World and the beginning of the European colonial era. This image, with its intricate details and evocative atmosphere, transports us back to a time when the unknown was a blank canvas waiting to be explored, and the spirit of adventure knew no bounds.
