EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary figure of Francois Lolonois, General of the French Bandits in Tortuga. Created by the Flemish School in the 18th century, this engraving captures the essence of a man who became infamous for his audacious exploits on the high seas. Lolonois was a formidable pirate known for harassing Spanish shipping as they attempted to establish their presence on Hispaniola's neighboring island. With a fierce gaze and an imposing sword at his side, he exudes both power and danger. His distinctive moustache and goatee beard add to his enigmatic allure. In this scene, we witness Lolonois amidst chaos - smoke billows around him as flames engulf a shipwrecked vessel in the background. The image encapsulates not only his ruthless nature but also hints at the perilous life led by these Caribbean filibusters. The setting is Ile de la Tortue, where Lolonois was born in Olonne. This notorious buccaneer left an indelible mark on history with his daring acts of piracy that struck fear into the hearts of those who sailed these treacherous waters. As we admire this remarkable piece from a private collection, it serves as a reminder of an era when pirates ruled the seas and legends like Francois Lolonois carved their names into maritime folklore.
