EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ferdinand Magellan's iconic boat, Victoria, which holds the remarkable distinction of being the first vessel to successfully circumnavigate the world. Created by the Portuguese School in the 17th century, this engraving is a testament to both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship. The image transports us back in time to an era of great exploration and adventure. It reminds us of Magellan's audacious journey from Spain to Mactan Island in the Philippines, where he tragically lost his life. Despite this setback, Victoria continued its voyage and triumphantly reached the Moluccas Spice Islands before becoming the sole ship to return home to Spain in 1522. The intricate details captured within this print allow us to appreciate not only Magellan's incredible feat but also the resilience and determination exhibited by those aboard Victoria. The composition exudes a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur as we witness history unfold through this legendary vessel. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable thirst for discovery and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. This photograph serves as a visual reminder that even against seemingly insurmountable odds, human ingenuity can prevail. Displayed proudly within a private collection today, this engraving stands as a timeless tribute to one man's extraordinary vision and his enduring legacy on global navigation and exploration.
