EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 17th century, where we witness the legendary pirate Sir Henry Morgan in action. In this scene, taken from Howard Pyle's renowned "Book of Pirates Buccaneers and Marooners of the Spanish Main" we find Sir Henry Morgan fervently recruiting men for his audacious Panama attack around 1670. The image depicts a sandy beach as the backdrop for this pivotal moment in history. Amidst the warm coastal breeze, Sir Henry stands tall and commanding, his presence exuding both authority and charisma. Surrounding him are eager men from all walks of life, enticed by tales of adventure and riches that only piracy can offer. Intriguingly, amidst this scene of recruitment lies an atmosphere of relaxation. A hammock sways gently nearby while a musician strums on a guitar, creating an ambiance that seems paradoxical to their imminent mission. It is as if these pirates understand that even amidst chaos and danger, moments of respite are essential. Giancarlo Costa's expert curation brings this historical event to life with vivid detail and impeccable artistry. The composition captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys the spirit of camaraderie among these daring corsairs. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we cannot help but be transported into a world filled with intrigue and adventure—a testament to both Howard Pyle's storytelling prowess and Giancarlo Costa's ability to immortalize history through art.
