Answer: Portugal
One of the dominant European powers during the Age of Discovery was Portugal. Portuguese exploration began as early as 1279. In 1341, Portugal explored the Canary Islands, which was the first official exploratory expedition by a European state. Eventually, Portuguese exploration became more refined, and this allowed them to control vast territories in Africa, as well as Brazil in South America.
There are several things that make Delaroche's painting more realistic. In the first painting, it seems as if he is riding toward battle in the Alps, when in fact he was not, as the description stated, Austrian forces had already been defeated, so there was no reason for him to look like that. In Delaroche's painting, he seems more accurately depicted, cold, tired, and with others (most likely servants) who are forced to walk while Napoleon rides on his horse.
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
I got it right and the correct four are:
"'Tis not too late to seek a newer world."
"To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die."
"It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew."
"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
