EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Barma Mata, Sultan de Zinder" transports us back to the heart of Africa in 1927. The image showcases the regal presence of Barma Mata, a revered ruler and warrior from West Africa's Sultanate of Zinder. Dressed in vibrant robes that exude power and authority, he stands as a symbol of African royalty. The photograph is part of the renowned collection "Dessins et Peintures d'Afrique" created during the Citroen Central Africa Expedition's second mission led by Louis Audouin-Dubreuil and Georges-Marie Haardt. This expedition aimed to explore uncharted territories and document the rich cultural heritage of Africa. Alexander Yakovlev skillfully captured this momentous encounter between tradition and modernity through his color lithograph technique. The composition immerses viewers into an era where indigenous rulers commanded respect and admiration. Displayed within a private collection, this rare piece allows us to appreciate the historical significance embedded within its frames. It serves as a reminder of Africa's diverse cultural tapestry, showcasing not only Barma Mata's grandeur but also shedding light on the continent's artistic legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the strength, grace, and majesty embodied by Barma Mata – a true icon representing African heritage for generations to come.
