DEATHBED
At the end of my response to Christopher Columbus’s letters’, I mentioned him being near death at the time of him writing his last letter. The Image above works in accord with my response. When one views this image, we can see Columbus, laying there in his deathbed, old, sick, and with a deteriorating body, like what was mentioned in the response. This image represents that imagery, that picture that Columbus’s words let ones imagination paint in one’s head. It depicts a man who has grown old in his service to his people, and is now near the end of his days. Who wouldn’t feel for him? This is what establishes the pathos in his letters, the emotional connection.
Columbus lies here, surrounded from what looks like priests, maybe even friends and family. At the end of his last letter, Columbus said himself that he could feel that he was near death. Possibly he wrote that letter while on his death bed. Regardless, he got his message out to those around him; to those accompanying him in his final moments.
