EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Castrorum Praefectus Americanus" transports us back to the grandeur and extravagance of the 17th century. The image captures a Praefectus castrorum, or camp prefect, dressed in an ornate American costume complete with an awe-inspiring ostrich-feather headdress. The print is part of the renowned collection "Courses de Testes et de Bagues Faittes par Roy et par les Princes et Signeurs de sa Cour, en l'annee 1662 (Grand Carrousel)" which depicts the festivities organized by King Louis XIV in June 1662. During this event, nobles would engage in jousting contests while adorned as Romans, Americans, Persians or Turks. In this particular scene from Le Grand Carrousel, we witness a horseman galloping through history donning an elaborate attire that reflects his American identity. His outfit includes leopard skin accents and intricate armor that adds to his commanding presence. The black and white etching beautifully captures every detail of this fascinating moment in time - from the feathers on his headdress to the majestic horses surrounding him. It serves as a testament to both French and American culture during the Baroque era. This remarkable piece by Israel Silvestre can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and stands as a reminder of our rich heritage and cultural exchange between nations.
