EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Theodore de Bry in 1595, depicts the fourth voyage of Christopher Columbus to the island of Jamaica in 1503. The scene captures a pivotal moment during this expedition - a battle between Columbus and Francisco Poraz. Intriguingly detailed, the print showcases a fierce clash on land and sea. A group of men engage in combat with swords and spears, their determined expressions etched upon their faces. The chaos unfolds amidst lush vegetation, emphasizing the exotic nature of this encounter. Columbus himself stands prominently at the forefront of the image, his commanding presence symbolizing his role as an explorer and conqueror. This historic event marked not only another milestone for Columbus but also represented European colonization's impact on Central America. The artist's skillful rendering transports us back to this significant period in history when new lands were discovered and cultures collided. De Bry's engraving offers viewers a glimpse into the bravery and struggles faced by those who ventured into unknown territories. Preserved within Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan, Italy, this artwork serves as a testament to humanity's insatiable curiosity and thirst for exploration. It is a reminder that our understanding of the world has been shaped by intrepid individuals like Christopher Columbus who dared to sail beyond familiar horizons.
