EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Discovery America Vespucci Landing ca 1587-89" by Artokoloro takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The artwork, created by Jan van der Straet, also known as Stradanus, showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this iconic image from the print series "New Inventions and Discoveries" we are transported to the landing of Amerigo Vespucci in America during the late 16th century. The scene is brought to life through pen, brown ink, wash, white highlights, black chalk, and incised lines on an overall canvas measuring 7 1/2 x 10 9/16 inches (19 x 26.9 cm). The artist masterfully visualizes Vespucci's encounter with the indigenous people of America. One particular element that stands out is the representation of a nude indigenous woman resting peacefully in a hammock. This portrayal symbolizes both vulnerability and curiosity as two worlds collide. Van der Straet's work beautifully captures the spirit of exploration and discovery that defined this era. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures came into contact for the first time and forever changed each other's histories. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we can't help but marvel at its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It allows us to reflect on our shared past while appreciating the beauty found within cultural diversity.
