Columbus appears here before the Spanish monarchs, a scene that belongs to the years after his first voyage of 1492, when he returned from the Caribbean with news of lands unknown to Europe. Court audiences like this one, with Ferdinand and Isabella seated in state, were where he sought royal backing for his expeditions and where his claims were weighed against those of rivals. Images of the moment were often painted long after the event, so the costumes and setting reflect the artist's imagination as much as the historical record. The picture is worth noticing for how it casts the navigator as a figure presenting his case to power rather than as a lone explorer.
