This print showcases a remarkable moment in history featuring JIMENEZ de CISNEROS (1436-1517), a prominent Spanish prelate and statesman. The image captures Franciso Jimenez de Cisneros, also known as Cardinal de Cisneros, during his expedition to Oran in North Africa. Painted by the talented artist Juan de Borgona around 1510, this detail from a fresco highlights the early crusade led by Cardinal Cisneros. Intriguing elements fill the scene - an armored soldier stands on a boat that has just landed on the seashore of Oran's coast. Dressed in his cardinal robe, Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros exudes authority and determination as he steps onto foreign land. This visual masterpiece transports us back to a time when Spain was at the forefront of Catholicism and exploration. The fine art composition beautifully captures both the exterior landscape and the inner strength of Cardinal Cisneros. It serves as a testament to his significant role in shaping Spanish history during this era of expansion and conquest.
