EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Vasco Nunez de Balboa, a renowned Spanish explorer, first laid eyes on the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean in 1513. The image showcases Balboa standing at the seashore, surrounded by his crew and an American Indian companion. With his arm outstretched, he points towards the horizon with a mix of awe and ambition shining in his eyes. Balboa's discovery marked a significant milestone during the Age of Exploration as he became one of the first Europeans to witness this majestic body of water. His determination and thirst for adventure led him through uncharted territories in Latin America until he reached Panama, where this remarkable encounter took place. The photogravure beautifully captures every detail from Henri Felix Emmanuel Philippoteaux's original painting. It transports us back to that early Renaissance era when maritime exploration was at its peak. The composition perfectly highlights Balboa's commanding presence amidst a picturesque beach backdrop. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Balboa's courage and tenacity as a conquistador who fearlessly ventured into unknown lands to discover new worlds. This image serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our planet's wonders.
