EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the thrilling world of pirates and their adventures on the high seas. The portrait depicts a fearsome pirate, armed with a rifle, exuding an air of danger and mystery. His rugged appearance suggests a life filled with perilous encounters and daring escapades. Beside him lies a treasure chest, overflowing with gold coins and precious jewels, tempting any who dare to challenge his authority. This symbolizes the allure of piracy - the promise of unimaginable wealth for those bold enough to seek it. In the background, we see a tent set up on a deserted island, emphasizing the isolated nature of this pirate's existence. It is here that he has made his temporary home amidst untamed wilderness and hidden riches. The illustration is taken from Howard Pyle's renowned "Book of Pirates Buccaneers and Marooners of the Spanish Main" published in 1887. Pyle was an American illustrator known for his vivid depictions of historical events and characters. Through this artwork, Giancarlo Costa skillfully captures both the romanticized image and harsh reality associated with pirates. It serves as a reminder that beneath their swashbuckling personas lay individuals driven by ambition, greed, or perhaps even desperation. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era where lawlessness reigned supreme on distant shores – where pirates roamed freely in search of fortune while leaving behind tales that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
