EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back in time to the 18th century, showcasing a remarkable drawing of the river of Manila during the Malaspina Expedition. The intricate details captured by Santiago Ortega Brambila transport us to this historical moment, where we can almost feel the essence of adventure and exploration. The Malaspina Expedition was an ambitious scientific voyage commissioned by Spain in order to gather knowledge about their vast American territories. Led by Alejandro Malaspina, this expedition aimed to explore various regions, including the Philippines. This particular drawing depicts the river of Manila, offering a glimpse into its bustling activity and vibrant atmosphere. Fernando Brambila's skillful hand brings life to every stroke on this horizontal print. It is as if we are standing on the banks of the river ourselves, witnessing boats gliding through its waters and people going about their daily lives along its shores. Preserved at Madrid's Museum of America, this lithograph serves as a testament to Spain's rich history and cultural heritage. Its presence reminds us of our connection with past explorers who ventured into unknown territories for knowledge and discovery. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Santiago Ortega Brambila, let us appreciate not only his artistic talent but also acknowledge how it provides a window into our collective human story – one that spans continents and centuries.
