Keith Reynolds (American, B. 1929) "Spanish Galleon San Jeronimo" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Canvas Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Republic of the Marshall Islands 10c Spanish Galleon San Jeronimo stamp issued April 19, 1994. Taken out of dry dock and refitted in Acapulco, Mexico, the San Jeronimo was sent on a mission to bring supplies to a Spanish settlement in the Philippines. Although the galleon set sail under the command of Captain Pero Sanchez Pericon on May 1, 1566, the following month he was killed by disgruntled crew members and quickly replaced by one of their own. Just three weeks later, Pericon's successor was thrown overboard and Lope Martin became the self-appointed captain. It was under his command that the San Jeronimo continued on to the Marshall Islands. When the vessel anchored there, the crew received a friendly Marshallese greeting accompanied by singing and dancing. Shortly thereafter, the San Jeronimo headed for Ujelang Lagoon. After resting for several days on a nearby island, mutineers again took over the ship, leaving Martin and 26 others on shore as they sailed toward the western horizon. Image Size: 15.25 x 21.25 in.
