About this Work

Year 1773
Location Saint Vincent & the Grenadines
Mood Bold, Nostalgic, Dramatic, Thought-Provoking
Subject People, Landscape, Animals, Forest & Rainforest, Faces & Portraits, Family, Village Life

Since 1763, the Black Caribs under Chief Joseph Chatoyer had resisted British attempts to take their land on St. Vincent. After a decade of conflict, including a failed military assault, both sides signed a treaty in February 1773 reserving Carib territory with a right to self-governance.

Brunias painted the signing as ceremony, but the painting smoothed over a harder truth: Young was his patron, and the "negotiation" it depicts was a treaty the British ultimately dictated on their own terms.

Meet the Artist

Agostino Brunias

Agostino Brunias was a Roman-born painter who trained at the Accademia di San Luca before making his way to England, where he worked under architect Robert Adam. In 1764 he left London for the British West Indies, eventually settling in Dominica, where he spent much of the rest of his life. His paintings and engravings of Caribbean creole culture and indigenous Carib life remain among the most significant visual records of 18th-century West Indian society.
