EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in history - Vasco da Gama bidding farewell to King Manuel of Portugal before embarking on his groundbreaking voyage to India. The image transports us back to July 8,1497, when the renowned Portuguese explorer set sail from Lisbon's harbor, leaving behind his homeland and venturing into uncharted waters. In this scene, we witness the solemn exchange between Vasco da Gama and King Manuel. Dressed in regal attire with a plume-adorned hat, the king stands tall as he bids farewell to his intrepid navigator. Da Gama, donning an equally impressive hat and surrounded by men ready for departure, gazes respectfully at his monarch while preparing for the arduous journey ahead. The print captures not only the historical significance of this event but also reflects elements of Renaissance artistry through its intricate details and vibrant colors. It serves as a testament to both exploration and discovery during the Age of Discovery in the 15th century. As we admire this piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, it is impossible not to be captivated by the courage and determination exhibited by these figures who paved new paths across oceans. This artwork reminds us of Vasco da Gama's pivotal role in connecting continents and shaping our world today through his relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond borders.
