EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic "Attack of Essaouira" commanded by Francois Ferdinand Philippe d Orleans, Prince of Joinville in August 1844. The image showcases a vibrant colour board reproduction from Alfred Paris' watercolour created in 1895. The scene depicts a significant moment in history as the French navy launches an invasion on Essaouira (formerly known as Mogador) in Morocco. Led by Prince Joinville, this military campaign aimed to assert French dominance and expand their influence in North Africa. The composition beautifully portrays the intensity of the attack with its sandy beach setting and a fleet of French naval ships advancing towards the Moroccan coastline. The engraving highlights both the power and precision of the French military navy during this period. This historical artwork offers a glimpse into the complex relationship between France and Morocco, showcasing elements of Arab civilization alongside European imperialism. It serves as a reminder of the colonial past that shaped both nations. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece by Stefano Bianchetti is not only visually striking but also holds immense historical significance. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as conquest, cultural exchange, and geopolitical dynamics that continue to shape our world today.
