EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print by William Brenton Boggs takes us back to the picturesque island of Madeira in the mid-19th century. The artwork showcases Fort St. Iago, a formidable fortress built in the 17th century to safeguard Funchal from pirate attacks. Boggs masterfully captures the rugged coastal landscape, with its rocky shoreline and crashing waves against the fort's protective walls. Measuring at 17.6x25.4 cm, this delicate watercolour on paper is part of the Corcoran Collection housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. Boggs, known for his naval background, appears to have had official duties as an artist during his time in the Navy. The painting transports us to a time when piracy was a real threat along these shores, emphasizing both the beauty and vulnerability of Madeira's coastline. The artist's attention to detail brings life to every brushstroke, showcasing not only his artistic talent but also providing historical insight into this important defensive structure. Fort St. Iago stands tall as a testament to Portugal's maritime history and its commitment to protecting its coastal territories from pirates who once roamed these waters. This remarkable piece offers viewers a glimpse into an era long gone while reminding us of our shared human desire for security and protection amidst natural beauty.
