EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Conversation in the Monastery of Santa Maria de La Rabida," is a masterpiece by the renowned Spanish Romantic painter, Antonio Cabral Bejarano (1798-1861). The painting depicts a significant moment in history, as it captures a conversation between Christopher Columbus, Garcia Jofre de Loaiza y Valdés (Garcia Fernandez), the priest Juan Perez, and Alonzo Pinzon, which took place in the Monastery of Santa Maria de La Rabida in Palos de la Frontera, Spain, around 1834-1837. Columbus, dressed in the attire of a nobleman, is seen in deep conversation with Garcia Fernandez, who is dressed as a priest. Alonzo Pinzon, Columbus' brother-in-law and a prominent figure in the Spanish maritime world, is shown standing to the side, observing the exchange. The painting's romanticism is evident in the use of soft, muted colors, the dramatic play of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity of the characters' expressions. The conversation between Columbus and Garcia Fernandez is believed to have taken place just before Columbus embarked on his historic voyage to the New World. The priest is said to have given Columbus his blessing and encouraged him to pursue his dream of discovering new lands. This painting is a testament to the power of faith, determination, and the human spirit, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of exploration and the art of Romanticism.
