EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print depicts the iconic scene from Daniel Defoe's classic novel, "Robinson Crusoe" where the titular character finds himself in a rowing boat, waving goodbye to his deserted island. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, this artwork now resides in a private collection. The image beautifully captures the essence of Robinson Crusoe's incredible story of survival and adventure. As he departs from his once-isolated home, we can sense both relief and anticipation on his face. The vastness of the ocean stretches out before him, symbolizing endless possibilities and newfound freedom. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of the oar is meticulously rendered, showcasing the artist's skillful technique. A colorful parrot perches on Robinson Crusoe's shoulder, serving as a faithful companion throughout his extraordinary journey. This print not only celebrates one man's triumph over adversity but also highlights themes of resilience and self-discovery that resonate with readers across generations. It serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for rescue and redemption. Displayed prominently in a department store window in Paris called Au Bon Marché during its time, this artwork undoubtedly captivated passersby with its evocative portrayal of an unforgettable literary character. Today it continues to inspire admiration for both its artistic merit and its ability to transport viewers into Robinson Crusoe's world of wonder and danger.
