EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central detail of "The Arrival of Vasco da Gama in Calicut" a remarkable tapestry created by the Flemish School in the 16th century. Housed at Banco Nacional Ultramarino in Portugal, this historical artwork depicts an extraordinary moment in time. At its heart, we witness Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama's arrival on Indian shores, surrounded by a bustling port filled with majestic ships and boats. The tapestry beautifully captures the essence of this significant encounter between two worlds.

As trumpeters announce his arrival with fanfare, Vasco da Gama stands tall on his ship while being greeted by Indian locals along the coastal shoreline. This textile masterpiece not only represents exploration but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange during that era. It transports us back to a time when brave explorers like Vasco da Gama ventured into uncharted territories, forging new connections and leaving indelible marks on history.
