"Portrait of Vasco da Gama (1469-1524)" is an artwork by the French artist Antoine Maurin, created in the 19th century. The portrait depicts the renowned Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, who is historically significant for being the first European to reach India by sea, linking Europe and Asia for the first time by an ocean route. This connection was instrumental in the development of the Age of Discovery and the establishment of a direct trade route between Europe and the Far East.

Antoine Maurin, born in 1793 and deceased in 1860, was a French lithographer and painter known for his portraits. His work on the portrait of Vasco da Gama is part of a larger body of work that includes portraits of other notable figures of history and his contemporaries. Maurin's technique and style are reflective of the period's artistic trends, which often involved a combination of realism and romanticism.

The portrait itself is a lithograph, a popular medium during the 19th century for reproducing images. Lithography allowed for the mass production of prints, which contributed to the wider dissemination of the likenesses of important historical and cultural figures. In the portrait, Vasco da Gama is typically depicted in a dignified manner, with attention to detail that suggests his status and achievements. The artwork serves not only as a representation of the historical figure but also as a cultural artifact that reflects the interests and values of the time in which it was created.

As a historical representation, the portrait is significant for its role in shaping the visual iconography of Vasco da Gama. It contributes to the collective memory of the explorer and the period of exploration he represents. The image of da Gama as rendered by Maurin has been reproduced in various contexts, further cementing the explorer's image in the public consciousness.

The "Portrait of Vasco da Gama" by Antoine Maurin is an important work for those studying the history of portraiture, lithography, and the visual culture of the 19th century.
