EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The French Discover Six More Rivers" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Engraved by Theodore de Bry and published in Frankfurt in 1591, it showcases the remarkable talent of Jacques Le Moyne (de Morgues). The image depicts the exploration of six rivers by the French, as they venture into uncharted territories. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork transports us to a time when discovery was at its peak. A majestic sailing ship dominates the foreground while a rowing boat gracefully glides through the waters. As our eyes wander across the scene, we notice sea monsters lurking beneath the surface, adding an element of mystery and danger. Page 186 reveals Plate 4 of this Brevis Narratio series, offering a glimpse into new worlds waiting to be explored. The rivers depicted - Loire, Charente, Garonne, Gironde Belle Grande - are accompanied by names that evoke curiosity and intrigue. Beyond these familiar European names lie exotic locations such as Altamaha Sound and Sapelo Island in Georgia. This print not only captures an important historical event but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and bravery. It reminds us of our innate desire for exploration and understanding. As we gaze upon this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection at www. bridgemanimages. com , we can't help but feel inspired to embark on our own journeys of discovery.
