The Settling Family Attacked by Savages
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a gripping aquatint print that captures a pivotal moment in the history of North America. Engraved by George Keating and based on an original work by Henry Singleton, this powerful image depicts the harrowing encounter between colonists and Native Americans. In this scene, we witness the settlers' plantation under siege as they fiercely defend themselves against their attackers. The tension is palpable as men and women alike brandish pistols, ready to protect their loved ones from harm. Among them stands a frightened child, caught in the midst of danger but surrounded by familial love. This artwork serves as a reminder of the conflicts that arose during the settlement of America, highlighting both sides engaged in battle. It portrays not only physical confrontation but also clashes of cultures and ideologies. The artist's skillful rendering brings forth emotions such as fear, determination, and resilience. Through intricate details and masterful use of light and shadow, Keating creates a sense of urgency that draws viewers into this chaotic scene. "The Settling Family Attacked by Savages" invites us to reflect upon our shared history while acknowledging its complexities. It reminds us that progress often comes at great cost – one that impacts families torn apart by conflict. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from The Stapleton Collection, let us remember those who came before us – settlers seeking new lives amidst untamed lands – while recognizing the profound impact these encounters had on indigenous communities across North America.
