EDITORS COMMENTS

Painted by an anonymous Spanish artist in the 16th century, this artwork can be found at the Monasterio del Escorial in Madrid, Spain.

With galleons dominating the composition, it highlights both sides' determination to control these strategic islands during the War of the Portuguese Succession.

The largest French force sent overseas before Louis XIV's reign joined forces with Anglo-French corsairs to support AntAonio, Prior of Crato. Their objective was twofold: preserve control over the Azores and prevent their incorporation into Iberian Union. Giancarlo Costa's expertly captured print brings this historical event back to life, showcasing intricate details such as ships engaged in combat and troops being transported by tugboats. It serves as a reminder of past conflicts and emphasizes how art can immortalize pivotal moments in history.
