Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon (approx. 1474-1526) - No reference existed for the likeness of this French explorer, but authentic clothing and armor had to be researched for this painting. The curator at the Higgins Armory Museum in Massachusetts helped me zero in on the proper helmet for the period and for the country of origin of this explorer of early America. © Scott Foresman/Pearson Education.
