EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the French explorer Ferdinand de Behagle and his encounter with Rabah, an African native. In this engraving from "Le-Pelerin" of 1899, we witness the dramatic events that unfolded as Behagle took Rabah prisoner. The image portrays the clash of civilizations and cultures, showcasing traditional African attire alongside European military garb. The tension is palpable as Behagle wields a gun while Rabah stands defiantly armed with a lance. The backdrop reveals a North African tent, symbolizing the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. Tragically, this encounter would lead to Rabah's demise. Sentenced to death by hanging at the hands of the sultan in 1899, his fate was sealed. This haunting scene serves as a reminder of the power dynamics and consequences that often accompany exploration and colonization. The artist Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings this historical event to life through intricate engravings filled with vivid colors. Through his work, he invites us to reflect on themes such as justice, tradition, and human rights. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image captured within Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness an impactful moment in history where two worlds collided with tragic consequences for one man - Rabah.
