EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking litograph depicts the historic moment of the Spanish Armada's departure from Lisbon harbor in 1588, marking the beginning of the ill-fated invasion of England. The Invincible Fleet, as it was known, was assembled under the orders of Spanish King Philip II with the intention of defeating the English and securing control of the English Channel and the North Sea. The image captures the grandeur and magnitude of the Spanish Armada, with its impressive fleet of galleons, galleys, and carracks, all meticulously rendered in intricate detail. The ships are filled with soldiers, supplies, and weapons, ready to embark on the long and perilous journey across the English Channel. The departure from Lisbon was a significant event in European history, as it marked the start of a series of naval battles between the Spanish and English forces. The ensuing clashes, most notably the Battle of Gravelines and the Battle of Calais, resulted in the near-destruction of the Spanish Armada, with many of its ships being lost or damaged. Despite the failure of the invasion, the Spanish Armada remains a symbol of Spanish military power and determination, and its legacy continues to be studied and celebrated by historians and enthusiasts alike. This litograph provides a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in European history.
