EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the breathtaking view of the island of New Caledonia as depicted by William Hodges in the late 18th century.

The painting, done in oil on wood circa 1777-1778, showcases the lush greenery and crystal-clear waters that make New Caledonia a true paradise. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this exotic location, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty.
Hodges' skill as an artist is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not just the physical features of the island but also its essence and spirit. The composition draws you into a world far removed from everyday life, where nature reigns supreme and serenity abounds.
