EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Louis Antoine (Louis-Antoine) of Bougainville, a renowned French navigator from the 18th century. In this historic moment, Bougainville is seen addressing the islands of the Marquises in Tahiti on April 6,1768. The image is taken from "Histoire generale de la Marine" by Van Tenac and was created by an unknown artist in the 19th century. Bougainville's voyage to Tahiti marked a significant milestone in exploration and discovery. As a military navy officer, he embarked on this journey with curiosity and determination to explore new territories. His encounter with the native population of Oceania showcased his respect for different cultures and his desire to establish peaceful relationships. The engraving beautifully depicts Bougainville's ship anchored near the shores of Tahiti, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant landscapes. Dressed in his distinctive military uniform, he greets the locals with warmth and admiration. This artwork not only highlights Bougainville's contribution as an explorer but also represents France's rich history of maritime exploration during the 18th century. It serves as a reminder of our human fascination with distant lands and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this historical moment through his lens, preserving it for generations to come. This print is part of a private collection and offers viewers a glimpse into an era filled with adventure, bravery, and cultural exchange.
