EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ferdinand Magellan, a renowned 16th-century captain, standing proudly on his ship Victoria. The image represents an allegorical celebration of the first-ever voyage of circumnavigation led by Magellan from 1519 to 1522. As one of the greatest explorers in history, Magellan's tragic fate is also depicted here - he was killed by natives in the Philippines during the expedition. The engraving, created by Stradanus in 1522, transports us back to this significant moment in time when brave sailors embarked on a daring journey to explore uncharted territories. The intricate details and artistry captured within this print allow us to imagine the excitement and anticipation that filled the air as Magellan set sail. Despite facing numerous challenges along their path, including hostile encounters with indigenous populations and treacherous waters, these courageous men persevered. Ultimately, it was the last surviving captain who managed to bring back Victoria - symbolizing triumph over adversity. This historical artwork serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge through exploration. It reminds us of both the risks involved and the remarkable achievements made during this era of discovery. Let this image transport you back to a time when brave souls like Ferdinand Magellan dared to venture into unknown horizons for the sake of expanding our understanding of the world we inhabit.
