EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "DE BRY: CHICORA, 1590" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Depicting the land of Chicora, Cuba, this color copper engraving by Theodore de Bry showcases a scene of destruction and turmoil. In the foreground, we witness French explorers ruthlessly burning down the village, leaving behind an explosion of flames and smoke. This image captures the essence of exploration during this time period when European powers sought to expand their influence in the New World. The engraving highlights both the curiosity and cruelty that characterized these expeditions. Men are seen looting amidst chaos while others watch as their homes go up in flames. Theodore de Bry's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical event to life with vivid colors and intricate engravings. Through his artistry, he invites us to reflect on the consequences of colonization and its impact on Latin America. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are reminded of how history is shaped by moments like these – moments filled with exploration, exploitation, and conflict.
