Description: Christopher Columbus disembarks from the Santa Maria on a plank, greeted by Native Americans in 1492. This is the first of four scenes of Spanish conquest. Brumidi's central figure seems to have been inspired by a statue of Columbus by Luigi Persico, which was then at the east central steps of the U.S. Capitol.
