EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable oil on canvas painting titled "The coloured native from Greenland in Bergen, 1654" by the Norwegian School of the 17th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and beautifully captures an intriguing moment frozen in time. In this vivid portrait, we see a group of indigenous people from Greenland standing proudly together. The focal point is a female figure adorned in traditional clothing, surrounded by her family. A young boy holds onto a fish, symbolizing their connection to nature and sustenance. The composition reveals hunters equipped with weapons such as spears and bows and arrows, emphasizing their survival skills and resourcefulness. This scene offers us insight into the daily lives of these Inuit people as they navigate their environment. The artist skillfully portrays the bond between parents and children; a father stands tall beside his son while holding onto his bow, while a mother gazes protectively at her daughter. A bird perched on one hunter's arm adds an element of wildlife to the painting, further enhancing its naturalistic ambiance. "The coloured native from Greenland in Bergen, 1654" invites viewers to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of these indigenous peoples through artistry that transcends time.
