EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a North African (Berber) man from Cefala, Ras El Djebel in Tunisia during the 16th century. The engraving, created by Christoph Krieger and later reproduced by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot, beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure. The Berber man is depicted armed with a lance and bow and arrows, adorned in traditional attire that includes a hat embellished with gold and precious stones. His robes are made of either cotton or silk, reflecting the richness of his culture. Within an intricately designed frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, this image transports us back to a time when Arab civilization thrived in North Africa. It offers us a glimpse into the society and traditions of the Maghreb region during this era. The black-and-white aesthetic adds to the allure of this engraving, emphasizing both its historical significance and artistic value. This piece is part of Cesare Vecellio's renowned work "Costumes anciens et modernes" which documented ancient costumes from around the world. As we admire this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists within Africa. It serves as a testament to the diversity and beauty found within different regions across the continent throughout history.
