"Departure from Lisbon for Brazil, the East Indies and America" is a notable engraving by the Flemish artist and engraver Theodore de Bry (1528–1598). De Bry, who specialized in engravings of European explorations during the Age of Discovery, created this work as part of a series that visually documented the journeys and encounters of European explorers in the New World and other exotic locales. The engraving is a detailed and intricate representation of a scene from the 16th century, capturing the moment of departure of ships from the port of Lisbon, Portugal, a pivotal hub for maritime exploration during that era.

The work is significant for its historical and artistic value, as it provides insight into the European perspective on exploration and colonization during the late Renaissance. It reflects the grandeur and ambition of the maritime expeditions that set out from Lisbon to explore and establish trade routes to Brazil, the East Indies, and the Americas. The engraving is also a testament to the skill of de Bry as an artist and his ability to convey the complexity of such scenes through the medium of printmaking.

Theodore de Bry's engravings were widely disseminated in his time and played a crucial role in shaping European perceptions of the wider world. His works were often included in travel narratives and compendiums, such as his "Grand Voyages" series, which helped to popularize the accounts of explorers and adventurers. "Departure from Lisbon for Brazil, the East Indies and America" stands as a significant cultural artifact from the period of European expansion, offering a visual narrative that complements the written histories of the age.

As an artist, de Bry was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to incorporate elements of both fact and imagination. While his engravings are valued for their artistic merit, they are also scrutinized for the ways in which they reflect the biases and misconceptions of their time, particularly in their depiction of indigenous peoples and the impact of European colonization.

Today, "Departure from Lisbon for Brazil, the East Indies and America" is studied by historians, art historians, and scholars of printmaking for its contribution to our understanding of the cultural and historical context of the Age of Discovery. It remains an important work within Theodore de Bry's oeuvre and continues to be exhibited and discussed in the context of early modern European art and history.
