EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful and symbolic representation of Africa as a woman adorned with a lion's skin. Created by Cornelis van Dalen II and Claes Jansz. Visscher II between 1648-1664, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Africa's strength and resilience. The female personification of Africa sits gracefully amidst two majestic lions, embodying both their predatory nature and her own fierce determination. Against the backdrop of a vast sky, the zodiac signs are visible, symbolizing the interconnectedness between celestial forces and earthly existence. In this image, Africa speaks volumes without uttering a word - voicing outrage against injustice and indignation towards oppression. Her armor-like gestures signify her readiness to protect her land from any harm that may come its way. Through this portrayal, we witness the feminine power emanating from every corner of this continent. The lion's skin draped over her shoulders serves as a reminder that she is not to be underestimated; she possesses an unyielding spirit rooted in African heritage. Cornelis van Dalen II and Claes Jansz. Visscher II have masterfully captured the essence of Africa's personification in this timeless piece. It stands as an homage to all that makes Africa unique - its rich history, diverse cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and above all else, its indomitable spirit.
