EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Native of the Caribbean with a parrot" transports us back to the vibrant world of the Antilles in 1686. The image showcases a beautifully adorned Caribbean woman, possibly an Arawak Indian, exuding elegance and cultural richness. The woman's attire is a feast for the eyes, showcasing her impeccable taste and wealth. She wears a stunning necklace made of golden beads that cascade down her chest, drawing attention to her regal presence. Her belt is also adorned with intricate pendants and beaded trappings that emphasize her status within society. A striking feature of this composition is the parrot perched gracefully on her handbag. This colorful bird symbolizes both beauty and freedom, reflecting the natural wonders found in this tropical paradise. The artist behind this masterpiece is Charles Plumier (1646-1704), whose keen eye for detail captures every nuance of his subject's ethereal beauty. Plumier's work not only celebrates the aesthetic appeal but also serves as an ethnological observation, shedding light on indigenous cultures during this period. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this painting continues to captivate viewers centuries later. It offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of the timeless allure and diversity found within different civilizations around the world.
