Christophorus Columbus 1894 - 1959

This illustrated print, titled "Christophorus Columbus," was created by the artist Gordinne between 1894 and 1959. The print, now located in the Rijksmuseum, depicts scenes from the life of Christopher Columbus, including his voyages and encounters with indigenous peoples. The artist uses a combination of text and images to tell Columbus' story, which was widely known in the Netherlands and Europe at the time. The print is a prime example of illustrative storytelling that was popular in the 19th and 20th centuries.
