"The French Discover Two Other Rivers" is a notable work by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, a French artist and cartographer of the 16th century. Le Moyne is renowned for his detailed and vivid illustrations that document the early French expeditions to the New World, particularly in Florida. His works are among the earliest visual records of the indigenous peoples and landscapes of North America.

Le Moyne was part of the French Huguenot expedition led by René Goulaine de Laudonnière, which aimed to establish a colony in Florida in 1564. During this expedition, Le Moyne created numerous drawings and paintings that captured the interactions between the French settlers and the native Timucua people, as well as the flora and fauna of the region. "The French Discover Two Other Rivers" is one such illustration, depicting the moment when the French explorers encountered additional waterways in the unfamiliar territory.

The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its ethnographic significance. Le Moyne's illustrations are invaluable historical documents, providing insights into the early European exploration of the Americas and the cultures they encountered. His work is also significant for its artistic merit, showcasing the Renaissance style of detailed naturalism and an early attempt at ethnographic accuracy.

Le Moyne's illustrations, including "The French Discover Two Other Rivers," were later engraved and published by Theodor de Bry, a Flemish engraver and publisher, in the late 16th century. De Bry's publications helped to disseminate Le Moyne's work widely across Europe, influencing contemporary perceptions of the New World. Despite the challenges and eventual failure of the French colony in Florida, Le Moyne's artistic legacy endures, offering a window into a pivotal moment in the history of exploration and cross-cultural encounters.
