EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print by Julien Fevret di Saint-Mesmin showcases the Santo Domingo map and Charles Baltazars estate, offering a glimpse into the colonial era of America during the 18th-19th centuries. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this stunning piece of cartography, which beautifully captures the topography and landscape of Santo Domingo. The painting features an old-fashioned sailing ship gracefully navigating the sea, symbolizing the transportation and exploration that characterized this period in history. The map itself serves as a guide, providing direction for travelers amidst its intricate network of borders and hills. With its Western script text and navigational equipment depicted alongside human settlements and architectural structures, this artwork seamlessly blends history, politics, and art. From an elevated view point, we are offered an aerial perspective of Santo Domingo with its coastline stretching out towards the Antilles Islands. In the background, people go about their daily lives while buildings stand as testaments to both past architecture and human settlement. As we delve into this enchanting composition filled with rich colors and fine details, we are transported back in time to witness a significant chapter in American history unfold before our eyes. This remarkable artwork not only celebrates cartography but also invites us to reflect on themes such as colonialism, travel, and the interplay between land and sea.
