EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment from the second expedition to India led by Vasco de Gama in 1502-1503. The image depicts a fierce naval battle between the Portuguese fleet, commanded by de Gama, and that of Calicut. In this particular scene, the Portuguese are seen firing upon the Muslim ship Miri charge pelerins returning from Mecca. This incident, known as the pilgrim ship incident, occurred on October 3rd, 1502. Vasco da Gama's fleet looted the ship with over 400 pilgrims on board during their return journey from Mecca. The illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli in "Histoire des navigateurs" by Giudici in 1936 brings this historical event to life. The intensity of the battle is palpable as smoke billows from cannons and ships clash amidst turbulent waters. This visual representation offers a glimpse into an era marked by exploration and conflict between different cultures. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable photograph reminds us of both the triumphs and controversies surrounding early European expeditions to distant lands. It serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery while also highlighting some of its darker aspects. Through this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in maritime history that shaped future interactions between civilizations across continents.
