EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Capivard or Water Hog at the Foot of a Bananier" takes us on a visual journey to the lush landscapes of Brazil. The image, derived from de Gennes Voyage to the Straits of Magellan by the Sieur Froger in 1698, captures an enchanting moment in nature's embrace. In this scene, we witness a capybara, also known as a water hog, gracefully positioned at the base of a towering banana tree. Its large eyes are filled with curiosity and its delicate paws delicately hold onto a ripe banana. As it indulges in this tropical delight, one can almost taste the sweetness that emanates from its vibrant yellow skin. The composition exudes tranquility and harmony as we observe this South American creature seamlessly blend into its surroundings. The engraving technique employed by the American School in the 17th century adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing our connection with both subject and artist. Through this artwork, we are reminded of nature's beauty and diversity while being transported to distant lands brimming with life. It serves as a testament to mankind's fascination with capturing fleeting moments through artistry across centuries. This exquisite piece is part of a private collection but has been made accessible for all to appreciate thanks to Fine Art Finder and www. bridgemanimages. com. Let it inspire you to explore further into the wonders that lie beyond your own backyard - where capybaras roam freely amidst banana trees
