EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Departure of Vasco da Gama in 1497, as depicted in the Libro das Armadas. The Portuguese navigator and explorer, Vasco da Gama, stands at the forefront of this scene, ready to embark on his legendary voyage that would forever change the course of history. The artist's pen and ink technique beautifully brings to life the bustling port filled with an armada of ships. The intricately detailed caravels and galleons stand tall against a backdrop of billowing sails and wind-filled skies. As da Gama sets sail into uncharted waters, one can almost feel the anticipation and excitement that must have permeated through every sailor's heart. However, amidst this sense of adventure lies a subtle hint of danger. In the distance, a fire burns ominously on one ship - a reminder that these voyages were not without risk or sacrifice. It serves as a poignant symbol for both the challenges faced by explorers like da Gama and their unwavering determination to push boundaries despite adversity. Preserved by Academia das Ciencias de Lisboa in Lisbon, Portugal, this remarkable artwork transports us back to an era when brave men set out into unknown territories in search of new lands and riches. It is a testament to human curiosity and resilience; an enduring tribute to those who dared to dream big and explore beyond what was known.
