EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of "Africa, 1672" takes us back in time to a land teeming with untamed beauty and exotic wildlife. Created by the talented artist Francis Barlow in the 17th century, this etching offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of African life during that era. The image transports us to vast plains where majestic elephants roam freely, their sheer size and grace commanding our attention. In the distance, we spot a regal lion surveying its domain, while colorful birds flutter above, adding splashes of vibrant hues to the scene. A caravan of camels traverses through this breathtaking landscape, evoking thoughts of ancient trade routes and nomadic journeys. Barlow's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life on this print. The textures and shading capture not only the physical attributes but also convey a sense of movement and energy within each animal depicted. It is as if we can almost hear the trumpeting call of an elephant or feel the soft rustle of feathers as birds take flight. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art thanks to Paul Mellon Fund's support, this artwork invites viewers into an immersive experience that celebrates Africa's natural wonders. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists like Barlow were captivated by Africa's allure and sought to immortalize its enchantment through their craft.
