"The Reception of Christopher Columbus 1450-1506 by Ferdinand II 1452-1516 of Aragon and Isabella 1451-1504 of Castille" is a historical painting by the French artist Eugène François Marie Joseph Devéria (1805–1865). Created in the 19th century, this work of art captures the moment when the famous Italian explorer Christopher Columbus was received by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, following his return from his first voyage to the Americas in 1493.

Devéria, a prominent figure in the Romantic movement in French painting, was known for his historical and mythological scenes. His depiction of Columbus's reception is imbued with the grandeur and drama characteristic of Romanticism, emphasizing the significance of the event in the context of world history. The painting portrays the moment of Columbus's audience with the monarchs, likely in the Alcázar of Barcelona, where he reported on his discoveries and presented the treasures and indigenous people he brought back from the New World.

The artwork reflects the 19th-century European perspective on Columbus's voyages, often glorifying the Age of Discovery and its impact on the expansion of European influence. However, contemporary views on Columbus and his legacy are more nuanced, acknowledging both the achievements of his maritime explorations and the detrimental effects of colonization on indigenous populations.

Eugène Devéria's painting is an example of how art can both reflect and shape historical narratives. While the painting itself is not as widely recognized as some other depictions of Columbus, it remains a testament to the enduring fascination with the explorer and the pivotal moments that shaped the course of history. The painting is an important piece within Devéria's oeuvre and contributes to the visual culture surrounding the mythos of Christopher Columbus.
