EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Allegorical view of Africa, early 17th century (1926)" takes us back to a time when art was used as a powerful tool for conveying complex ideas. Created by the talented artist Cornelis de Visscher, this allegorical piece from the 1920s captures the essence of colonialism and oppression in Africa during the seventeenth century. In this thought-provoking image, we see a female figure standing amidst an African landscape. Her worried expression reflects the heavy burden she carries on behalf of her continent. Looking up with concern in her eyes, she represents Africa's struggle under imperialistic forces. The presence of a majestic lion beside her symbolizes both strength and vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that despite being oppressed, Africa possesses inherent power that cannot be extinguished. Cornelis de Visscher's artistic school shines through in his masterful composition and attention to detail. The monochrome palette adds depth to the image while emphasizing its timeless quality. Originally featured in Apollo magazine in December 1926, this print holds historical significance as it sheds light on the impact of imperialism on African nations. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as identity, resilience, and liberation. As we observe this striking artwork by Cornelis de Visscher today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility towards addressing past injustices while striving for equality and empowerment across all continents.
