EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - "The Mutiny of the Crew of the Portuguese Flor de La Mar, against their General". Illustrated by Tancredi Scarpelli in 1936, this color lithograph from the "History of the Navigators" series brings to life an intense confrontation that took place around 1511. In this scene, we witness Afonso de Albuquerque, also known as Albuquerque the Great, facing a rebellion on board his ship. As a renowned Portuguese general and statesman, Albuquerque was not only a great conqueror but also an empire builder. However, even leaders face challenges from within their ranks. The image showcases the deck of Flor de La Mar filled with tension and defiance as crew members rebel against their commanding general. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and determination on both sides during this mutiny. This historic event marked an important chapter in colonial exploration and imperial ambitions. Albuquerque's legacy is one of exploration and colonisation. His leadership played a significant role in shaping Portugal's maritime empire during that era. Through his strategic navigation skills and relentless pursuit for greatness, he left an indelible mark on history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by Bridgeman Images' eIsadora collection, we are reminded of the complexities faced by those who dared to venture into uncharted territories. It serves as a testament to human ambition and resilience amidst adversity - qualities that continue to shape our world today.
