EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured around 1902, transports us back to the XVI century and invites us to explore a significant piece of Portuguese history. The image showcases the magnificent marble tomb of Vasco de Gama, located within the grandeur of the Church of the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos de Belém in Lisbon. Vasco de Gama, an intrepid explorer and pioneer, left an indelible mark on world history through his daring voyages during the Age of Discovery. This solemn portrait immortalizes him posthumously as a symbol of conquest and exploration. The intricate details carved into this monumental tomb reflect both reverence for his accomplishments and admiration for his vocation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of De Gama's personal achievements but also how he shaped modern history by opening new trade routes to India and beyond. Underwood & Underwood have masterfully captured this momentous scene with their skilled lensmanship. Their expertise allows us to appreciate every nuance present within this historical artwork – from its exquisite craftsmanship to its profound symbolism. Situated within Portugal's Convento de São Jerónimo, this sacred resting place serves as a testament to De Gama's legacy while offering visitors a tangible connection to one of Europe's greatest explorers. It is here that we can pay homage to those who dared venture into uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge and discovery. As we contemplate this remarkable photograph from Alinari's collection, let it serve as a reminder that our understanding of modern civilization is intricately woven with tales such as Vasco de Gama’s epic journey across oceans – forever shaping our perception and appreciation for human ingenuity throughout time.
