EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the dey of Algiers, Hussein, judging himself offended by the French consul Pierre Deval. The incident occurred in April 1827 when the dey blew off Deval's fly-hunter, and its consequences would shape the course of events leading to the capture of Algiers in 1830. The engraving is taken from "L'Algerie ancienne et moderne" by Leon Galibert and was featured in an Italian edition from 1846. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical scene, showcasing the clash between two cultures and their complex international relations. The image reflects not only a specific event but also highlights broader themes such as Arab civilization and French influence in North Africa during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how individual actions can have far-reaching consequences on geopolitical landscapes. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection owned by Stefano Bianchetti and offers viewers a glimpse into Algerian history through art. Its presence evokes curiosity about African culture and invites contemplation on the intricate dynamics between nations. As we admire this artwork, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging that it represents just one fragment of Algeria's rich heritage.
