"Discovery of America with portraits of Amerigo Vespucci (1454-1512) and Christopher Columbus (1451-1506)" is a notable engraving created by the Flemish artist Jan Collaert II (1566-1628), based on a design by the Italian artist Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet, 1523-1605). The engraving was printed by the renowned publisher and printmaker Philipp Galle (1537-1612) around the year 1600. This work is part of a series that illustrates significant moments in world history and exploration, particularly focusing on the Age of Discovery.

The engraving depicts the momentous event of the European discovery of the Americas, with the two central figures being Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus, explorers whose voyages to the New World significantly impacted the course of history. Vespucci, for whom the Americas are named, is often credited with recognizing that the lands discovered by Columbus were part of a separate continent, not Asia as initially believed. Columbus, on the other hand, is famed for his 1492 voyage that led to the European awareness of the American continents.

The artwork is rich in detail and symbolism, reflecting the European perspective of the era on the encounter between the Old and New Worlds. It is an important historical document that provides insight into the ways in which these explorers and their achievements were commemorated and mythologized in the years following their voyages.

As a piece that combines the talents of three influential figures from the world of Renaissance and Baroque art and printmaking—Stradano, Collaert, and Galle—the "Discovery of America" engraving is a significant cultural artifact that represents the collaborative nature of print production during this period. It also serves as an example of how visual art was used to shape and disseminate the European understanding of global exploration and conquest.
