Balboa Conqueror Discoverer Distinguished Insides Vasco Retratos Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the renowned Spanish discoverer and conquistador, Vasco Núñez de Balboa (1475-1517). Known for his groundbreaking exploration, Balboa is best remembered for being the first European to cross the Isthmus of Panama and sight the Pacific Ocean in 1513. The image, taken from the esteemed book "Retratos de Varones Ilustres" (Portraits of Distinguished Men), showcases Balboa in a vertical, color print. The intricate engraving, located up right, captures the conquistador's intense gaze and strong facial features, reflecting his determination and courage. Balboa's clothing, typical of the 16th century, includes a flowing tunic and a mantle, adding to the historical authenticity of the portrait. This portrait, along with others in the "Retratos de Varones Ilustres" collection, offers a glimpse into the lives and accomplishments of some of the most influential figures in history. The rich color and fine details of the engraving bring Balboa's story to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or Spanish colonial art.
