EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ferdinand Magellan, a renowned Portuguese explorer and navigator, aboard his caravel in 1522. The engraving, created by Jan van der Straet (Joannes Stradanus) between 1523-1605, captures the essence of this historical figure who played a significant role in circumnavigating the world. Magellan's portrait exudes determination and curiosity as he stands tall on the deck of his ship. The mast and sail behind him symbolize the vessel that carried him through uncharted territories during his groundbreaking expedition. A powerful eagle carrying an elephant is depicted alongside Magellan, representing both discovery and strength. The image transports us back to a time when exploration was at its peak, reminding us of Magellan's remarkable achievement - being one of the first individuals to successfully navigate across the globe. His legacy as a pioneer resonates even today. Displayed against a backdrop of timeless elegance at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this photograph invites viewers to delve into history and marvel at human ingenuity. It serves as a reminder that our thirst for knowledge knows no bounds.
