EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Page 35 Three native idols, 1768-75" transports us back to the era of Captain Cook's Second Voyage. Created by the talented artist William Hodges, this drawing is part of a collection housed at the Mitchell Library in New South Wales. The image showcases three indigenous idols, intricately sketched with watercolors. These figurines represent deities or religious creatures that were revered by the native people encountered during Cook's voyage. Each idol exudes a sense of mystery and supernatural power, their features expertly captured by Hodges' skilled hand. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to these statuettes, emphasizing their significance within indigenous culture. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when exploration was intertwined with encounters with different cultures and belief systems. Hodges' attention to detail brings these figures to life on paper; every line and stroke reveals his dedication as an artist. This print serves as both a historical document from Captain Cook's voyage and a testament to Hodges' artistic prowess. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to connect us with past civilizations and ignite our curiosity about diverse cultures around the world.
