EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment when Captain Smollett fearlessly confronts a group of mutineers on a ship. Painted by Newell Convers Wyeth in 1882, this powerful image showcases the artist's exceptional talent for storytelling through art. In the center of the composition, we see Captain Smollett standing tall and defiant on top of the ship's roof. With determination in his eyes, he holds up a flag with his own hand, running it up as a symbol of resistance against the mutineers. The flag flutters proudly in the wind, representing Captain Smollett's unwavering loyalty to his crew and mission. The scene is filled with tension as pirates dressed in buccaneer costumes surround him menacingly. Armed with weapons and fueled by their desire for treasure, they are no match for Captain Smollett's courage and leadership. Set against an island backdrop, this artwork transports us into Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel "Treasure Island". It encapsulates both the danger and excitement that permeate throughout this thrilling tale. Wyeth masterfully captures every detail - from each character's expression to their intricate costumes - bringing this pivotal moment to life. This print serves as a testament to Wyeth's artistic brilliance while paying homage to Stevenson’s timeless story of adventure on the high seas.
