EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Tahitian War Galleys in Matavai Bay, Tahiti, 1766" by William Hodges takes us back to a momentous chapter in history. The canvas measures 91.5x137 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection.

The artist skillfully captures the essence of this Polynesian paradise, transporting viewers to a time when exploration was at its peak. Intriguingly, this artwork also serves as a visual record of Captain Cook's voyage to these distant shores. It offers a glimpse into the indigenous culture and way of life during that period. The presence of native war galleys adds an element of intrigue and adventure to the composition. Hodges' attention to detail is evident throughout his brushstrokes; every wave crashing against the shore seems alive with movement.
