EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic battle in Jamaica between two renowned figures, Christopher Columbus and Francisco Poraz. The intense clash depicted here took place in 1504 during Columbus' fourth voyage to the Caribbean. In this dramatic scene, we witness the confrontation between these two men on the shores of Ann's Bay. As the engraving by Theodore de Bry vividly portrays, Francisco Poraz and his brother Diego were taken prisoner during this fierce encounter. The image showcases their struggle against Columbus and his fellow colonists who had mutinied against him. It is a powerful representation of conflict and defiance. Published in 1631 by Mattaeus Merian as part of Johann Ludwig Gottfried's Mewe Welt und Americanische Historien, this historical artwork has found its way into private collections over time. Now preserved within The Stapleton Collection, it serves as a reminder of the turbulent past that shaped our world. The Flemish artist behind this engraving skillfully captures the intensity of the fight, highlighting every detail with precision. This print not only offers us a glimpse into an important moment in history but also invites us to reflect upon themes such as power struggles, colonization, and resistance. With its rich historical significance and artistic excellence, this print from Fine Art Finder stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity—a timeless portrayal that continues to captivate viewers today.
