EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back to the 16th century, showcasing a historical moment in Brazil's exploration. Titled "The Rio Ianeiro, from the travels of Villegagnon and Jean le Leri in Brazil 1557-1558" it offers a glimpse into the early days of French colonization. The image depicts Guanabara Bay, now known as Rio de Janeiro, with its breathtaking natural beauty. The bay is surrounded by lush green mountains that meet the sparkling blue sea. In the foreground stands Fort Coligni on Île de Villegagnon, a testament to Nicolas Durand's (1510-71) ambitious efforts as Commander of the Knights of Malta and founder of the French colony in Brazil. This print captures an important chapter in history when France sought to establish its presence in South America but was ultimately ousted by Portuguese forces. It symbolizes both exploration and conflict as European powers vied for control over new territories during this era. As we admire this piece from a private collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and space. It invites us to reflect on the courage and ambition of those who ventured into unknown lands centuries ago. This lithograph serves as a visual reminder that history is not only written but also captured through artistic expression.
