EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored illustration from the 19th century depicts the infamous pirate Jean David Nau, better known as Francis Lolonois or Lollonois. The artwork, created by an unknown artist, showcases the enigmatic figure who terrorized the seas during the 17th century. Lolonois was a French corsair whose name struck fear into the hearts of sailors and merchants alike. With his menacing presence and ruthless tactics, he became one of history's most notorious pirates. This print captures his essence with remarkable detail and skill. The scene portrayed in this artwork hints at both adventure and danger. A shipwreck is depicted in vivid colors, emphasizing the chaos that ensued after Lolonois' raids on unsuspecting vessels. Amidst this turmoil, a rescue boat can be seen approaching to save survivors from their watery fate. The engraving beautifully conveys the drama of life at sea during this tumultuous era. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with these lawless characters who defied authority and sought fortune through plundering. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved this historical moment through his meticulous restoration work on this print. As it now resides in a private collection, viewers are granted a glimpse into Lolonois' treacherous world - one filled with daring escapades and constant peril. This artwork stands as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance; it transports us back to an age when piracy reigned supreme on the high seas.
