EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the highly romanticized representation of Matoaka, a young Native American princess known as Pocahontas. Created by Joseph Mozier in 1868, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of a pivotal figure in American history. Matoaka's story is one of resilience and cultural exchange, as she was tragically kidnapped by British settlers in Virginia. In this full-length portrait, we see Pocahontas depicted with grace and dignity. Her bare feet connect her to the land she holds dear, symbolizing her deep connection to nature and her indigenous heritage. The artist skillfully uses color to bring out the vibrancy of her traditional attire, showcasing intricate details that reflect her rich cultural background. The sculpture itself is made from marble, adding an element of timelessness to this piece of art. As we gaze upon it at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to arts of the Americas, we are reminded not only of Pocahontas' individual story but also of the broader narrative surrounding Native Americans during the 19th century. Mozier's portrayal allows us to appreciate Pocahontas as both a royal figure and a woman who defied societal expectations. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's complex history while honoring an influential Native American icon whose legacy continues to inspire generations today.
