EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Behanzin, the last king of Dahomey, in all his regal glory. Painted by a French School artist in the 19th century, this watercolor on paper masterpiece is now housed at the Musee du Quai Branly et des Arts Premiers in Paris, France. Behanzin's commanding presence is evident as he sits confidently on his throne, donning a traditional African male costume that exudes power and authority. His national dress reflects both his cultural heritage and royal status. The intricate details of his attire are meticulously captured by the skilled artist, showcasing vibrant colors and patterns that symbolize Dahomey's rich history. As he leisurely enjoys his pipe while seated, Behanzin emanates an air of wisdom and contemplation. The intensity in his gaze suggests a ruler deeply connected to his people and their struggles during a pivotal time for Dahomey. This portrait not only immortalizes Behanzin but also serves as a testament to Africa's diverse cultural heritage. It invites viewers to delve into the fascinating history of Benin while appreciating the artistic talent behind this remarkable piece. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images for preserving this invaluable artwork for generations to come.
