EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Portrait of Hernando de Magallanes, a renowned explorer and navigator from the 15th century. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure. Hernando de Magallanes, born around 1480, is famously known for his remarkable voyage from Spain to South America. It was during this expedition that he discovered what would later be named the Strait of Magellan - a significant maritime passage connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Narrative and Critical History of America, edited by Justin Winsor in London in 1886, immortalizes Magallanes' extraordinary achievements. This portrait serves as a visual testament to his courage and determination as he embarked on perilous journeys across uncharted waters. Notably mentioned alongside Pizarro and their conquests in Peru and Chile, Hernando de Magallanes played a crucial role in expanding European knowledge about new territories during the Age of Exploration. Preserved within a private collection today, this image offers us a glimpse into history's most intrepid explorers. As we admire this artwork, let us remember those who fearlessly ventured into unknown lands to shape our understanding of the world we inhabit today.
