EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alkmey, the powerful King of Guinea, as depicted in the "Receuil des Estampes" published in 1780. The hand-coloured engraving by Pierre Duflos beautifully captures the essence of this noble ruler. In this full-length portrait, Alkmey stands tall and proud, exuding an air of authority and strength. Clad in his tribal costume, he is adorned with intricate details that reflect his status as a warrior king. His spear held firmly in hand symbolizes both protection and power. The artist's attention to detail brings out every aspect of Alkmey's regal presence. From the elaborate patterns on his attire to the expression on his face, one can sense a mix of determination and wisdom emanating from him. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation but also offers us a glimpse into history. It provides insight into the diverse cultures that existed during that time period and highlights their unique customs and traditions. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the importance of preserving art that allows us to connect with our past. Through these prints, we can appreciate the rich tapestry of human civilization while paying homage to influential figures like Alkmey who left an indelible mark on their societies.
