EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "29 novembre 1513, Balboa prend possession de la mer du Sud au nom de la Castille et du royaume de Leon" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the French School in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this print depicts Vasco Nunez de Balboa claiming possession of the Pacific Ocean on behalf of Spain. The scene captures the spirit of exploration and conquest that defined Europe's relationship with the New World during this era. Balboa stands proudly at the forefront, representing Spanish ambitions as he plants his flag in the sand. The vastness of the ocean behind him symbolizes both opportunity and mystery. Published as an illustration for Le Magasin Pittoresque in 1855, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate its intricate details. From Balboa's determined expression to the meticulously crafted ships dotting the horizon, every element contributes to a sense of grandeur and adventure. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of Spain's historical claims but also of Europe's broader influence on global exploration. This engraving serves as a testament to human curiosity and ambition – traits that have propelled civilizations forward throughout time.
