The Attack
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful wood engraving by Eric Gill that depicts the harrowing moment of an Iroquois raid on a Huron village in 1649. The print, taken from "The Travels and Sufferings of Father Jean de Brebeuf" captures the intense struggle between two worlds - that of the Native Americans and the European missionaries. Father Jean de Brebeuf, a French Jesuit missionary, stands at the center of this chaotic scene as he valiantly defends his faith against overwhelming odds. With knife-wielding attackers surrounding him, it is clear that his mission to spread Christianity has come under brutal assault. Gill's meticulous attention to detail brings forth the raw emotions felt during this violent encounter. The expressions on both male and female faces reveal fear, determination, and desperation. In their eyes lies a clash of cultures - one seeking spiritual salvation while another fights for survival. This wood engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by early missionaries like Father Jean de Brebeuf who risked everything to bring their beliefs to foreign lands. It also sheds light on the complexities inherent in colonialism and its impact on indigenous communities. "The Attack" invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as religion, exploration, suffering, and cultural clashes. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression – capturing a pivotal moment in time when two worlds collided with devastating consequences.
