1486 Columbus Commission Lorgues Proposals Salamanca


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the historic moment when Christopher Columbus presented his groundbreaking proposals to the Royal Commission in the University of Salamanca, Spain, in 1486. The scene is set against the grand backdrop of the ancient University, with its towering Gothic architecture and scholars in academic robes. Columbus, dressed in the attire of a nobleman, stands before the esteemed commissioners, his hands gesturing passionately as he outlines his vision for discovering a new route to the East Indies. The commissioners, intrigued and skeptical in equal measure, listen intently, their expressions revealing a mix of curiosity and doubt. The year was 1486, and Europe was on the brink of a new era. Columbus' proposals, if accepted, would lead to the discovery of the New World and the beginning of the Age of Exploration. The print captures the sense of excitement and uncertainty that surrounded this pivotal moment in history. The Royal Commission, composed of the most learned men of the time, held the power to make or break Columbus' dreams. The outcome of this meeting would change the course of history. The University of Salamanca, founded in 1134, was one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe. Its scholars were renowned for their expertise in various fields, including mathematics, astronomy, and geography. Columbus, a self-taught mariner and explorer, recognized the importance of gaining the support of these intellectual giants in his quest for funding and legitimacy. The print immortalizes this crucial encounter between Columbus and the Royal Commission, a testament to the enduring power of knowledge and the human spirit of exploration.
