Painting Description
"The famouse West Indian voyadge made by the Englishe Fleete of 23 shippes and barkes wherin weare gotten the townes of St. Iago, Sto Domingo, Cartagena and St. Augustines" is a notable historical account authored by Baptista Boazio. This work provides a detailed narrative of the English naval expedition led by Sir Francis Drake in 1585-1586, which marked one of the significant maritime campaigns of the Elizabethan era. The expedition, comprising 23 ships and barks, targeted Spanish holdings in the Caribbean and the Atlantic coast of Florida, capturing and plundering several key towns including Santiago (St. Iago) in the Cape Verde Islands, Santo Domingo on Hispaniola, Cartagena in present-day Colombia, and St. Augustine in Florida.
Boazio's account is particularly valued for its detailed maps and illustrations, which offer a visual representation of the towns and fortifications encountered by the English fleet. These illustrations are among the earliest known depictions of these locations, providing invaluable insights into the geography and urban layouts of the period. The work not only chronicles the military achievements of the expedition but also reflects the broader geopolitical tensions between England and Spain during the late 16th century.
The narrative captures the strategic importance of the captured towns, highlighting their roles as vital nodes in the Spanish colonial empire. Boazio's detailed descriptions and cartographic precision have made this work a crucial primary source for historians studying the era of Elizabethan naval warfare and early colonial encounters in the Americas. The account underscores the audacity and ambition of English maritime ventures during this period, contributing to the broader narrative of European exploration and colonial expansion.
