"Portrait of Christopher Columbus (1451-1506)" is an engraving by the Flemish artist and engraver Theodore de Bry, created in the late 16th century. De Bry, known for his detailed and intricate works, was a prominent figure in the production of illustrated books depicting the exploration of the New World. This particular portrait is one of the many images that contributed to the iconography of Christopher Columbus, the Genoese navigator whose voyages across the Atlantic Ocean opened the way for the widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas.

The portrait is a significant historical artifact, as it reflects the European perception of Columbus during the period following his voyages. It is part of a larger body of work by de Bry that includes depictions of indigenous peoples and scenes from the New World, which were instrumental in shaping European understanding of these previously unknown lands and cultures. The engraving of Columbus is characterized by its attention to detail and the use of symbolism to convey the explorer's importance and the impact of his discoveries.

Theodore de Bry's "Portrait of Christopher Columbus" is not only a representation of the individual but also serves as a visual document of the era's attitudes towards exploration and colonialism. It has been reproduced and referenced in various historical texts and remains an important piece for scholars studying the Age of Discovery and the visual culture of the period. The portrait continues to be analyzed for its artistic merit, as well as its role in the creation of the mythos surrounding Christopher Columbus and the European conquest of the New World.
