A note on painting and propoganda
Interesting post on the Zamorin and Vasco da Gama encounter. Loved the different artworks and prints from the old books.
Thank you aadil :)
This blog is a lovely hole to dive into to know the Zamorin and the Firangis.

Nice, love the different art you've dug out! Had never read about the two-bit presents he brought along :)
Thanks Jimmy :) Two bit is correct. I can just imagine the reaction to 6 wash basins!
Interesting piece. I'd think that artists were commissioned by their patrons. So depending on who was doing the commissioning, the characters were painted accordingly.
