EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph print depicts the meeting of Simon Van der Stel, a prominent figure in South African history, with a majestic rhinoceros. Created by Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton in the early 20th century, this artwork is a stunning representation of the romance and grandeur of empire in Africa.
Simon Van der Stel, known for his role as Governor of the Cape Colony in the late 17th century, stands tall and proud next to the powerful rhinoceros. The intricate details captured by Skelton bring this historical moment to life, showcasing the beauty and strength of both man and beast.
The vibrant colours used in this lithograph add depth and richness to the scene, highlighting the exotic allure of South Africa's landscape. The contrast between Van der Stel's colonial attire and the wild nature of the rhinoceros creates a sense of tension and harmony at once.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where exploration and conquest shaped destinies. The legacy of figures like Simon Van der Stel lives on through art such as this, reminding us of our shared history with these magnificent creatures that roam our planet.
