EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Theodore de Bry's map of the western hemisphere from 1596. The intricate details and artistry of this historical piece are truly remarkable. Surrounding the map, we see four influential explorers who left an indelible mark on history. Starting from the top left corner and moving clockwise, we encounter Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, Francisco Pizarro, and Ferdinand Magellan. These brave men were at the forefront of the Age of Exploration during the late 16th century. Columbus, known for his voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, paved the way for European exploration in search of new trade routes to Asia. Vespucci played a crucial role in mapping South America and was instrumental in proving that it was indeed a separate continent. Pizarro is renowned for his conquests in Peru as he led Spanish expeditions that resulted in significant territorial gains for Spain. Lastly, Magellan undertook an epic journey around the world by sea and became one of history's most celebrated explorers. This stunning artwork not only captures their spirit but also symbolizes humanity's insatiable curiosity to discover new lands during this transformative era. It serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of knowledge and adventure throughout history.
