EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning feather drawing is a captivating glimpse into the Asia-Pacific expedition of Malaspina (1789-1794), a historic voyage of discovery led by Spanish explorers Alessandro Malaspina and José María Narváez. The drawing, created by Fernando Brambila, depicts the anchorage of Umatac in Guam Island, a key stop during the expedition. The interior of the scene is filled with the natural beauty of the Pacific Island, with lush greenery and white sand beaches framing the calm waters where the Spanish ships are anchored. The intricately detailed feather drawing, a common art form during this era, adds a vibrant and textured element to the serene image. This drawing is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that took place during the Malaspina expedition, which aimed to expand Spain's knowledge of the Pacific and the Americas. The expedition, which included scientists, artists, and cartographers, made significant contributions to the fields of geography, botany, and ethnography. The drawing is now housed in the Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain, where it serves as a reminder of the important role Spain played in Pacific exploration and the enduring beauty of the islands of the Asia-Pacific region.
