About the piece
Painted in 1838, this masterwork by Eugène Delacroix depicts Christopher Columbus and his young son Diego seeking refuge at the friary of La Rábida. The composition elegantly balances the monumental architecture of the arched hallway with the soft, human expressions of the figures, rendered in the artist's signature rich and atmospheric tonal palette.
