EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "La Salle Christening the country Louisiana" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Published in Harpers Magazine in 1905, this colour lithograph by Howard Pyle portrays an iconic scene from the past. The image showcases Robert Cavelier de La Salle, a French explorer and pioneer of the 17th century, as he christens the land that would later become known as Louisiana. In this illustration, we witness La Salle standing tall and proud against a backdrop of uncharted territory. With determination etched on his face, he holds a ceremonial vessel filled with water high above his head. As droplets cascade down onto the untouched soil beneath him, it symbolizes not only the naming but also the discovery of this new land. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of color and shading within this masterpiece. From La Salle's noble expression to his meticulously depicted attire, each element adds depth and authenticity to the portrayal. This artwork serves as a reminder of America's rich history and pays homage to those brave explorers who ventured into unknown territories centuries ago. It captures both the spirit of adventure that drove these pioneers forward and their desire to leave an indelible mark on future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported back in time—a testament to art's ability to transcend boundaries and connect us with our shared heritage.
