EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle between the Buccaneers and the Spaniards during the attack on Panama in 1671. Created by an anonymous artist from the Dutch School in the 18th century, this engraving showcases a pivotal moment in history. At its center is Sir Henry Morgan, a renowned buccaneer and Governor of Jamaica, who led his fleet of pirates against the Spanish colony of Panama. With burning ships illuminating the night sky, Morgan's notorious reputation as a privateer comes to life through this artwork. The scene depicts chaos and violence as both sides engage in fierce combat. The Spaniards desperately defend their colonial stronghold while facing off against these audacious pirates from across the Caribbean. It is a clash between two worlds - one representing power and authority, while the other embodies rebellion and lawlessness. This image was originally published in Alexandre Exquemelin's book "The Buccaneers of America" in 1678, providing readers with an illustrated account of these daring exploits at sea. Today, it serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with piracy throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back to an era filled with adventure and danger on treacherous waters.
