EDITORS COMMENTS
Vasco Nunez takes possession of the South Sea, engraving from 1726, captures a pivotal moment in history as Vasco Nunez de Balboa, the Spanish conqueror, claims ownership of the vast and uncharted waters. This print transports us back to the 16th century when exploration was at its peak. In this horizontal image, we see Balboa standing tall on a rocky shore with his fellow explorers by his side. The determination in their eyes is palpable as they gaze out towards the endless expanse of the South Sea. Their presence signifies Spain's ambition to expand its empire and dominate new territories. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life an era filled with bravery and adventure. Every line etched into the print tells a story of discovery and conquest. It reminds us of how these daring individuals risked everything for glory and riches. Preserved within the library of a university, this artwork serves as a window into our past. It allows us to reflect upon the audacity that drove men like Balboa to explore unknown lands and seas. As we admire this piece, let us not forget that it represents more than just an engraving; it symbolizes human curiosity and our relentless pursuit for knowledge. May it inspire future generations to continue pushing boundaries in search of new horizons.
