East Meets West In Macau

Vasco de Gama


Martin Luther in Macau? No it's Vasco de Gama, the 16th Portugeuse explorer who revolutionized commercial trade with So. India (Goa) and China through Macau.

Luther and Da Gama were contemporaries and revolutionaries, however not in a warlike way. I was struck by this portrait in the Maritime Museum of the similarity of their portraits.
