EDITORS COMMENTS
A View of Owhyhee in the Sandwich Island in the south Seas (The Death of Cook)" is a captivating print that captures a significant historical event. The image depicts the moment when Captain James Cook, a renowned British explorer and navigator, met his tragic end during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific. In this handcoloured aquatint by John Cleveley the Younger, we see HMS Discovery and HMS Resolution anchored off the coast of Owhyhee (now known as Hawaii). The scene is filled with tension and smoke as Cook's crew engages in a confrontation with Hawaiians. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and danger surrounding this historic event. The composition offers a glimpse into life on board these sailing ships, showcasing rowboats leaving from shore while armed forces stand ready for battle. It also highlights the scenic beauty of Moorea island in French Polynesia, adding an element of contrast to this dramatic moment. This artwork not only serves as a visual record but also evokes emotions associated with exploration, conflict, and loss. It reminds us of Captain Cook's pioneering spirit and his ultimate sacrifice for knowledge. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to late 18th century Oceania, where history was made amidst breathtaking landscapes.
