EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cacodemon attacking the savages" takes us back to a significant moment in history, captured by Theodore de Bry in 1562. The image depicts a dramatic encounter between an otherworldly creature and indigenous people from South America, specifically Brazil. The artist's vivid imagination brings forth a fearsome Cacodemon, seemingly emerging from the depths of folklore and mythology. With its menacing presence, it swoops down upon the unsuspecting natives who are depicted as brave warriors defending their land against this monstrous intruder. This artwork serves as a visual representation of the early colonial period when European explorers encountered native populations across the New World. It highlights both the awe-inspiring discoveries made during these expeditions and the clash of cultures that ensued. The intricate details and vibrant colors used in this colored engraving further enhance our understanding of this historical event. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as exploration, discovery, colonization, and the complex dynamics between different civilizations. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Americae Tertia Pars collection housed at Service Historique de la Marine in Vincennes, France; we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment where myth meets reality on uncharted lands.
