EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1497 depicts a profound moment in history - the Risen Christ appearing to the king of Spain, Ferdinand II of Aragon, and Ferdinand V of Castile. The image is taken from a German translation pamphlet containing Columbus's letter to Luis de Santangel, the Spanish royal Treasurer, announcing his groundbreaking discovery of America. In this evocative scene, we witness the convergence of religion and royalty as King Ferdinand stands before an ethereal figure - Jesus Christ himself. The expression on the king's face reveals awe and reverence at this divine revelation. It symbolizes not only the spiritual significance but also the immense power bestowed upon him by God. The woodcut technique adds depth and texture to every detail: from intricate patterns on their garments to delicate facial expressions that convey both wonder and humility. This artistic medium brings forth a sense of authenticity and historical importance. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to the 15th century when exploration was at its peak. It serves as a reminder that even kings were touched by faith and inspired by new frontiers waiting to be discovered. This woodcut print captures an extraordinary moment in time when two worlds collided – one filled with ancient traditions and another brimming with endless possibilities for future generations.
