Note 287 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

Cf. Boletin de la Sociedad geográfica de Madrid, vol. vi. A portrait in the collection of the Marquis de Malpica is said closely to resemble it. One belonging to the Duke of Veraguas is also thought to be related to it, and is engraved in the French edition of Navarrete. It is thought Antonio del Rincon, a painter well known in Columbus’ day, may have painted this Yanez canvas, on the discoverer’s return from his second voyage. Carderera believed in it, and Banchero, in his edition of the Codice Colombo Americano, adopted it (Magazine of American History, i. 511). The picture now in the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Rooms is copied directly from the Yanez portrait.
