EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the capture and pillage of the Royal Palace of Goa by Portuguese soldiers led by navigator Afonso de Albuquerque in 1510. The illustration, created by Tancredi Scarpelli for "Histoire des navigateurs" by Giudici in 1936, showcases the intense scene as the soldiers plundered the palace during the Portuguese conquest of Goa. The image transports us back to that fateful day, where we witness the chaos and destruction caused by Albuquerque's troops. The composition is filled with action and movement, depicting armed soldiers rushing through opulent halls, seizing treasures and valuables from every corner. Their determined faces reveal their hunger for power and wealth. The historical significance of this event cannot be understated. The capture of Goa marked a turning point in European colonialism as it established Portugal's control over one of India's most prosperous regions. It also paved the way for further colonization efforts throughout Asia. Through this photo print, we are reminded not only of the brutal realities of conquest but also how history has been shaped by such events. It serves as a reminder to reflect on our past actions and learn from them as we strive towards a more inclusive future.
