EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the historic journey of Vasco de Gama, a renowned Portuguese explorer, as he sailed from Portugal to Calicut (present-day Kozhikode) in India in 1498. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, beautifully captures this significant moment in history. Vasco de Gama's expedition marked the beginning of direct sea routes between Europe and Asia, opening up new possibilities for trade and cultural exchange. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that must have filled the air during that voyage. The intricate details of the engraving transport us to a bygone era - from the majestic ships sailing across vast oceans to the bustling port city of Calicut awaiting their arrival. It is fascinating to imagine how different life was during those times and how this encounter between two distant worlds would shape future interactions between Europe and India. Giancarlo Costa's expert preservation of this historical artwork allows us to appreciate not only Vasco de Gama's remarkable achievement but also serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity for exploration. This image serves as a window into our collective past, reminding us of our shared heritage and interconnectedness across continents.
