This print captures a significant moment in the history of Madagascar during the 17th century. The image depicts several native chiefs swearing their obedience to the King of France before Etienne de Flacourt, the Governor of Fort Dauphin. It is a powerful representation of colonialism and its impact on indigenous cultures. The engraving, created by French School in the 19th century, showcases the solemnity and importance of this event. The native chiefs are shown standing before Etienne de Flacourt, demonstrating their submission to French authority. Their traditional attire and regalia highlight their cultural heritage while also symbolizing their acceptance of foreign rule. The scene depicted here is from 1652 when Madagascar was under French control. This historical context adds depth to the image as it reflects an era marked by exploration, conquest, and European influence around the world. This print serves as a reminder of both France's colonial past and Madagascar's complex history with foreign powers. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as power dynamics, cultural assimilation, and resistance within a global historical context. Overall, this artwork offers a glimpse into an important chapter in Madagascar's history while raising questions about imperialism and its lasting effects on indigenous societies.
