Description: | This finely detailed painting shows the great explorer Christopher Columbus bowing to Queen Isabella of Spain. The scene is set in the beautiful Islamic garden of Alhambra in Granada. We can see the magnificent Moorish castle in the background on the spur of the hill. Queen Isabella and Ferdinand were the only royals to support Columbus's famous voyage where he discovered The New World, also known as the Americas in the late 15th Century.
