This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Christopher Columbus alongside Bernardo Buil (Fray Buil), a Catalan missionary monk who accompanied him on his second voyage across the Atlantic. The image exudes an aura of colonialism and exploration, highlighting the intertwined themes of conversion, evangelism, and discovery.
As Columbus stands tall with Fray Buil by his side, one can't help but feel the weight of their mission to spread Christianity to new lands. The presence of the church is palpable in this scene, underscoring the religious motivations behind their journey.
The historical significance of this moment cannot be overstated - it was during this time that America was first discovered by European explorers like Columbus. The events depicted in this print shaped the course of history and laid the foundation for centuries of Spanish influence in the New World.
