EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment that forever changed the course of exploration and trade. Titled "The discovery of the route of the Indes: Reception of Vasco de Gama by the Samudrin of Calicut" it depicts an iconic scene from May 1498. The unknown artist masterfully captures the essence of this significant event, bringing to life the meeting between Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama and the Samudrin, or ruler, of Calicut. Intriguingly rendered through chromolithography, this vibrant image transports us back to a time when European explorers sought new routes to India. De Gama's successful voyage opened up unprecedented opportunities for trade between Europe and Asia, sparking a wave of cultural exchange and economic growth. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every element contributes to its authenticity. From the intricate costumes worn by both parties to their expressions filled with curiosity and respect, one can almost feel the anticipation in the air as these two worlds collide. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded not only of Vasco de Gama's bravery but also his lasting impact on history. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire for knowledge and adventure. Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this timeless moment in history through his lens, allowing us all to appreciate its significance for generations to come.
