Description
From a series composed in 1592, to celebrate the centenary of the discovery of the New World by Columbus, and the following explorations by Vespucci and Magellan.
The engraving is based on a drawing by Johannes Stradanus ( Jan van den Straet) and engraved by Adrian Collaert (Antwerp circa 1560 - 1612).
The print shows an allegory of Amerigo Vespucci, the Florentine mariner, who accompanied Alonso de Ojeda on his voyage to the South American coast in 1499.
