EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Christopher Columbus' first landing in 1492. Painted by Santiago Ortega, a renowned artist from Puebla, Mexico, in 1862, this colorful depiction brings to life the significant event that forever changed the course of history. Christopher Columbus, an Italian navigator born in Genoa in 1451, is portrayed as he sets foot on land after his long and treacherous journey across the Atlantic Ocean. The painting showcases his determination and courage as he stands tall amidst a group of personages who accompanied him on this voyage. The vibrant colors used by Ortega highlight the excitement and anticipation felt during this monumental occasion. The deep blues of the ocean contrast with the warm tones of Spain's Galicia region where Columbus landed. His arrival was met with great joy and celebration by both Spanish locals and members of his crew. This print serves as a reminder of Columbus' incredible achievement in discovering America while also acknowledging its controversial aspects. It invites viewers to reflect upon the impact that exploration had on world history and encourages further exploration into our shared past.
