Christopher Columbus (Image analysis)

"From letter to Luis de Santangel, Regarding the 1st Voyage"

This image represents my view on Christophers Columbus' letters, because it goes back to how Christopher Columbus was able to allow the audience to visualize what the New World was like. Christopher Columbus describes this world as bountiful, plentiful and full of abundance. This is clearly visible in the image,because when you think of plentiful and abundance you think colorful, and a positive environment.This image just brings to life what he made the New world to be, Paradise.

Another way that this image represents my view of the letters is that, Christopher Columbus looks very much in control. His stance makes the audience realize that he is the leader and noone can hold him back. If you look closely at his facial expression, he seems to be puzzled about his discovery. He is looks this way,because he did not find what he was expecting. He was expecting to find Asia, when he found the New World, he thought that it would be even better than Asia. That is his objective for writing this letter.
