As he gazes up at the night sky, his eyes are filled with wonder as he becomes one of the first Europeans to lay eyes on the magnificent constellation known as the Southern Cross. This print offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when explorers like Vespucci were pushing boundaries and expanding our understanding of the world.
