Man van het jaar #6

The moody, atmospheric cover by Céka and Tandiang sets a quietly dramatic tone for this 2016 Dutch-language entry in the Man van het jaar series — a lone figure stands in a small rowboat on a churning, storm-lit sea, the dark waves and brooding sky conveying both solitude and determination. The subtitle, "De man die Amerika hielp ontdekken" ("The man who helped discover America"), frames this as the story of a pivotal figure tied to the world-changing voyage of 1492. It's a beautifully rendered, painterly cover that draws you in with its sense of vast, uncertain horizons.
