Isabella I of Castile, also known as Isabel la Catolica, ruled as Queen of Castile from 1474 and jointly with her husband Ferdinand II of Aragon from 1479. Known for her strong leadership and piety, Isabella is famously depicted in art and history with her husband, including in the Tomb of the Catholic Monarchs in Granada and the painting "Isabella I of Castile" by an unknown artist at the Museo Nacional del Prado. Her reign marked the beginning of the Spanish Golden Age, with significant events such as the financing of Christopher Columbus' first voyage in 1492. The iconic image of the Catholic Kings receiving Columbus in Barcelona after his return is a testament to Isabella's patronage and vision for exploration and discovery.
