EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting titled "West Indian Creole Woman, with her Black Servant A West Indian Creole Woman Attended by her Black Servant" created by the talented Italian artist Agostino Brunias in 1780. The artwork, rendered on canvas using oil paint, beautifully captures a scene from the West Indies during that era. In this composition, we witness an elegant West Indian Creole woman accompanied by her loyal black servant. Both figures are dressed in exquisite garments and skirts made of fine linen material. The woman exudes grace and sophistication as she walks alongside her servant, who carries himself with dignity despite his subordinate role. The painting offers us a glimpse into the complex dynamics of power and social hierarchy prevalent at the time. It highlights the stark contrast between privilege and servitude within colonial society. Moreover, it sheds light on the unique cultural blend found in the West Indies through its portrayal of a creole woman - someone born to European parents but raised in the Caribbean. Agostino Brunias skillfully captures not only their physical appearances but also their inner emotions and personalities. This thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to reflect upon issues such as race, class, identity, and societal norms that were prevalent during this period. As we admire this extraordinary piece from Liszt Collection's vast archives, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging its artistic brilliance.
