EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cross-section of a launched vessel, taken from the renowned Atlas de Colbert. The illustration, found on plate 31 of this historic atlas, was created by an anonymous French School artist during the 17th century. The detailed pencil and watercolor depiction offers a fascinating insight into shipbuilding during the reign of Louis XIV. Commissioned by Jean Baptiste Colbert de Trocy, this Atlas aimed to bolster the French navy while challenging Dutch maritime supremacy. The image reveals intricate construction techniques employed in building naval vessels at that time. Every aspect is meticulously portrayed - from the keel to the deck - providing viewers with an understanding of how these impressive ships were designed and constructed. Displayed against a backdrop adorned with cartouches, this artwork represents not only technical precision but also artistic finesse. The sketch-like quality adds depth to the composition, allowing us to appreciate both its scientific value and aesthetic appeal. Now preserved in France's Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, this piece serves as a testament to France's maritime heritage and its pursuit of naval dominance under King Louis XIV. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the ingenuity behind shipbuilding during this era.
