Detail of Christopher Columbus on the top of the monument to the discovery of America in the city of Valladolid, Castile-Leon, Spain, Europe

---

Columbus kneeling, as expected he did when he first stepped on American shores and behind him an allegorical representation of the faith with a cross and a chalice, as reinforcement of the idea of divine inspiration and just reward the effort. Colón arrodillado, como se supone que hizo cuando por primera vez pisó las costas americanas y tras él una representación alegórica de la Fe con una cruz y un cáliz, como refuerzo de la idea de inspiración divina y recompensa justa al esfuerzo.
