EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history as Portuguese explorers raise a stone pillar at the mouth of the River Congo in 1482. Led by Diogo Cao, this expedition marked the beginning of European colonialism in Africa and paved the way for future exploration and conquest.
The image is rich with detail, showcasing the determination and strength of the Portuguese as they work together to erect this monument in an unfamiliar land. The lush African landscape serves as a backdrop to this scene of discovery and imperial ambition.
The vibrant colors bring this historical moment to life, highlighting the contrast between the European explorers and the indigenous Congolese people who observe from afar. This visual representation encapsulates both the excitement and tension that accompanied these early encounters between different cultures.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the complex legacy of colonialism and exploration that continues to shape our world today. It serves as a powerful reminder of how history is not just confined to textbooks but can be vividly captured through art like this lithograph by Alfredo Roque Gameiro.
