notes:
Theodor de Bry claimed that this portrait of Columbus was engraved by his son, Jean (or Johann), and was copied from a painting of Columbus commissioned by the King and Queen of Spain, now lost. The portrait, however, was copied from a painting by Sebastiano del Piombo (Sebastiano Luciani). No images of Columbus are known to have been taken from life.This work was published by Theodor de Bry and is derived from the second part of Girolamo Benzoni, Historia del mondo nuovo, Venice, 1565. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 5. Latin. Imprint information from colophon.
