AI IMAGE - Portrait of Christopher Columbus, 1490s, (2023). Creator: Heritage Images
AI IMAGE - Portrait of Christopher Columbus, 1490s, (2023). Columbus (1451-1506) was an Italian explorer, navigator and colonist who was sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. His voyages to the New World led to the European colonisation and exploitation of the Americas. The settlers killed huge numbers of Amerindians in conflicts, and by spreading disease, which reduced the indigenous population by 90% in the century following Columbus's initial journey to the Americas and Caribbean in 1492. Long claimed as the Discoverer of America, it is now recognised that it's not possibly to discover territory that is already inhabited

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking AI-generated image brings to life the enigmatic figure of Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), an Italian explorer whose voyages marked the beginning of European colonization and exploitation of the Americas in the late 15th century. Sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, Columbus embarked on a journey that would forever change the course of history. The portrait, created by Heritage Images in 2023 using advanced artificial intelligence technology, depicts Columbus in the prime of his life, dressed in the attire of a 15th-century explorer. His piercing gaze and determined expression convey a sense of adventure and discovery, as he gazes out at the vast, uncharted waters and the promise of new lands beyond. However, it is important to remember that Columbus' arrival in the Americas was not a peaceful encounter. The settlers brought with them diseases, conflicts, and a desire for resources, leading to the devastating loss of indigenous lives. It is now recognized that Columbus did not "discover" America, as it was already inhabited by millions of people. This AI image serves as a powerful reminder of the complex and often troubled history of exploration, colonialism, and colonization. It invites us to reflect on the past, learn from it, and strive for a more just and equitable future.
