University of California Irvine Columbus Landing on Hispaniola Analysis
Help me study for my History class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.
This first primary source exercise asks you to closely observe the image below, list five features of it, and write an initial conclusion regarding the intention of the artist. I would encourage you to NOT read anything online about the image because we are only interested in your own observations and conclusion. There is no single correct answer.
So: in a well-written paragraph of 200 words or less, please note five aspects of the content of the image. Next, explain your own conclusion(s) about the intent of the artist in creating this depiction of Columbus. The artist is Theodor de Bry. The work is usually titled “Columbus Landing on Hispaniola.” It is usually dated 1594.
