Painting Description
"View of the Corocores of the Island of Guebe, from the Island of Pisang," is a significant engraving from the early 19th century, created by the French artist Alphonse Pellion. This artwork was engraved by Coutant and published in 1825 as part of the comprehensive account of the French circumnavigation expedition titled "Voyage Autour du Monde sur les Corvettes de L'Uranie 1817-20." The expedition, led by French naval officer and explorer Louis de Freycinet, embarked on a global journey to explore and document uncharted territories, contributing valuable insights to the fields of geography, science, and ethnography.
Alphonse Pellion (1796-1868), who was a junior officer and draughtsman on the voyage, played a crucial role in documenting the landscapes, peoples, and phenomena encountered during the expedition. His artistic contributions, including "View of the Corocores of the Island of Guebe, from the Island of Pisang," are celebrated for their accuracy, detail, and aesthetic appeal, providing a visual record of the world as it was known in the early 19th century.
This particular engraving captures a serene and detailed view of the Corocores, a term that refers to specific geographical features or locations, from the perspective of the Island of Pisang. The artwork stands out for its meticulous attention to the natural landscape, showcasing Pellion's skill in rendering the subtleties of the scene's topography, vegetation, and atmospheric conditions. Through his work, Pellion not only contributed to the scientific objectives of the expedition but also offered viewers a glimpse into the exotic and remote locations that were largely unknown to the European audience of his time.
Published as part of the official account of the Uranie's voyage, this engraving and others like it were instrumental in disseminating knowledge about distant parts of the world. The expedition's findings, enriched by Pellion's artistic contributions, were eagerly received by the scientific community and the public alike, enhancing understanding of global geography, cultures, and natural history.
"View of the Corocores of the Island of Guebe, from the Island of Pisang" remains an important work within the oeuvre of Alphonse Pellion and the history of French exploration. It exemplifies the intersection of art and science during the Age of Discovery, where detailed and accurate visual documentation was paramount to the expansion of knowledge and the dissemination of new discoveries to the wider world.
