Vasco Da Gama On his Return to Portugal, he is Honoured by a Visit from King Manoel I
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph and recognition for the great Portuguese explorer, Vasco Da Gama, upon his return to his homeland in 1498. The image shows King Manoel I of Portugal (r. 1495-1521) warmly welcoming Da Gama as he disembarked from his ship, the "São Gabriel," after completing the first direct maritime route from Europe to India. Da Gama's groundbreaking voyage, which began in July 1497, had taken over two years and marked the beginning of a new era in world exploration and trade. The successful journey opened up new opportunities for Portugal to establish a colonial presence in the East, and solidified its position as a major European power. King Manoel I, an enlightened ruler and a generous patron of the arts and sciences, was eager to acknowledge Da Gama's achievements and celebrate the historic event. In this photograph, we see the king extending his hand in a gesture of welcome and respect, while Da Gama, dressed in his explorer's attire, bows deeply in acknowledgement. The scene is a testament to the strong bond between the monarch and his explorer, and the significant impact of their joint endeavors on the course of history. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of exploration and discovery that shaped the world we know today, and the crucial role that patronage played in fostering the spirit of adventure and innovation. This image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the enduring legacy of Vasco Da Gama and King Manoel I.
