EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Vasco da Gama, a renowned Portuguese navigator and explorer from the 16th century. The image is taken from Gaspar Correia's "Lendas da India" (Legends of India) published in 1520. Rendered in pen and ink on paper by an artist belonging to the Portuguese School, this portrait exudes a sense of historical significance. Vasco da Gama, born around 1469, played a pivotal role in expanding Portugal's maritime empire during the Age of Discovery. With his unwavering determination and navigational expertise, he successfully led the first expedition that sailed directly from Europe to India via sea route. This groundbreaking achievement opened up new trade routes between Europe and Asia, forever altering global commerce. The portrait captures da Gama's commanding presence as he gazes confidently into the distance. His noble features are accentuated by his regal attire adorned with a coat of arms symbolizing his family lineage. This emblem serves as a reminder of his aristocratic background and royal patronage. As one delves deeper into this remarkable image, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an individual; it embodies an era defined by exploration and conquests. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and ambition while honoring Vasco da Gama's indelible contributions to world history.
