EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving, we are transported back to the year 1497 on the island of Hispaniola. The print captures a significant moment in history as Francisco Roldan engages in conversation with Adelantado Bartholomew Columbus within the walls of Fort Concepcion. Francisco Roldan, a Spanish colonial administrator and Alcalde mayor of La Isabela, takes center stage in this image. As Christopher Columbus returns to Spain from his second voyage, Roldan assumes leadership and becomes head of the Spanish rebels. His presence exudes authority and determination as he converses with Bartholomew Columbus. Bartholomew Columbus, the younger brother of Christopher Columbus and an Italian explorer from Genoa, stands opposite Roldan. Their meeting signifies a pivotal moment in Hispaniola's history - one that could potentially shape its future course. The artist skillfully captures both men's expressions and body language, allowing us to imagine what might be transpiring between them. Perhaps they discuss matters concerning governance or negotiations amidst challenging circumstances on the island. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation but also offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics at play during this period of colonization. It reminds us that even within historical narratives dominated by renowned figures like Christopher Columbus, there were other influential individuals who played crucial roles in shaping events. Overall, this print provides viewers with a glimpse into an important chapter in history while showcasing the artistic talent behind its creation.
