EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Brevis Narratio" we are transported back to the 16th century, where a poignant scene unfolds before our eyes. The engraving, created by Flemish artist Theodore de Bry, depicts a group of Native American women who have tragically lost their husbands in combat or to disease. As they gather together, their faces filled with sorrow and grief, we witness the raw emotions that accompany such profound loss. The women stand partially nude, vulnerable yet resilient in their shared pain. Their headdresses symbolize their cultural identity and heritage as they navigate through the challenges brought upon them by colonization and discovery of the New World. In this moment captured on page 213 of "Brevis Narratio" these wives find solace in each other's company as they mourn their fallen partners. Amidst this heart-wrenching scene stands a powerful figure – the king or chief – whose presence signifies authority and protection for these grieving women. He is depicted as both a warrior and tribal leader, embodying strength amidst adversity. This evocative artwork serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical document that sheds light on the struggles faced by indigenous communities during this period of exploration and colonization. Through de Bry's skilled craftsmanship, we are reminded of the universal human experience of loss while honoring those who came before us in shaping our world today.
