EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print, titled "Mission of St Carlos, 1798" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of early California. Painted by William Alexander in the late 18th century, this artwork was created as part of his illustrations for George Vancouver's A Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean. Drawing No. 16 showcases a picturesque village near Monterey, California. The scene is alive with activity and cultural richness. In the foreground stands an elegant church adorned with bells, surrounded by indigenous people going about their daily lives. A horse grazes peacefully nearby while livestock are contained within fenced areas. Thatched roofs dotting the landscape add a rustic charm to the dwellings that fade into the background. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures not only architectural elements but also human interactions and natural beauty. This watercolour sketch was likely based on John Sykes' initial observations during an expedition. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history—a harmonious blend of European influence and Native American traditions coexisting within this idyllic Californian setting. Thanks to Bridgeman Images and Fine Art Finder for preserving and sharing this exquisite representation of America's past exploration and indigenous cultures through artistry that continues to captivate viewers today.
