EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning graphite drawing of the Pitons in St Lucia, captured by Admiral Sir Edward Gennys Fanshawe in the 19th century, transports us back to a time of exploration and adventure. The intricate details of the rock pillars rising majestically from the sea, with a cutter and small three-masted ship in the distance, evoke a sense of wonder and awe at the beauty of nature.
Fanshawe's meticulous rendering of this iconic Caribbean landmark is not just a simple sketch - it is a work of art that captures the essence of maritime life in that era. The original drawing served as inspiration for a lithograph, showcasing Fanshawe's talent as an artist and his deep connection to the sea.
As we gaze upon this historical piece from Fanshawe's West Indies, North American and Borneo scrapbook, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our natural wonders and exploring new horizons. The combination of mountain scenery, ships sailing on crystal clear waters, and coastal landscapes creates a sense of tranquility and serenity that is truly timeless.
This artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we can still be captivated by the beauty and grandeur of places like St Lucia's Pitons. It stands as a testament to both Fanshawe's skill as an artist and his love for capturing moments in time for future generations to enjoy.
