The Discovery of America, a monumental event that forever changed the course of history, is depicted through various captivating images and artworks. In one such portrayal, Christopher Columbus stands before the Court of Queen Isabella of Spain, passionately presenting his theories about the New World. His unwavering determination and belief in uncharted lands across the vast ocean are evident as he shares his vision. As we delve deeper into this momentous journey, Ferdinand Cortez's awe-struck gaze captures our attention. Standing amidst the breathtaking Valley of Mexico, he witnesses firsthand the marvels that await exploration. This digital reproduction from an original 19th-century piece transports us back to a time when every step was filled with wonder and excitement. The expedition itself comes alive through vivid depictions on canvas. The Palos caravels Santa Maria, Pinta, and Nina set sail in 1492 towards uncharted territories. These oil paintings capture their grandeur as they embark on a voyage that would change mankind's understanding of geography forever. One particular painting portrays Christopher Columbus aboard his caravel gesturing towards Guanahani (San Salvador) on October 12th, 1492. The artist skillfully brings forth Columbus' sense of triumph mixed with curiosity as he sets foot on new land for the first time. In another portrait dedicated solely to Christopher Columbus himself, we see him immortalized in paint—a testament to his pioneering spirit and courage. His visage tells tales of resilience against adversity and an unwavering commitment to discovery. Moving forward in history, we witness Hernan Cortes leading the Conquest of Mexico—an arduous battle fought by both sides for control over this newfound land rich with culture and resources. Miguel and Juan Gonzalez masterfully depict this clash between civilizations through their artwork. Fast-forwarding even further into time brings us to a watercolor painting from 1885 titled Discovery of America.
