Columbus's Landing in the Bahamas: A Historical Perspective

This artwork, painted in 1847 by John Vanderlyn, depicts Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Bahamas, a pivotal moment in history. The painting is housed in the U.S. Capitol and exemplifies the romanticized view of European exploration. The illustrations by Theodore de Bry in Bartolomé de las Casas' 1552 account "A Brief Relation of the Destruction of the Indies" showcase the indigenous experiences during Spanish colonization. Charles Hudson's "Knights of Spain" further explores the interactions between European explorers and Native American societies.
