A Monumental Pacific Panorama: Five Grand Decorative Panels After Cook’s Voyages

"A Monumental Decorative Panorama of the Pacific World"

An extraordinary ensemble of five mounted panels from Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique (1804), designed by Jean-Gabriel Charvet and produced by Joseph Dufour et Cie. Inspired by Captain Cook’s voyages, this celebrated neoclassical panorama captures the cultures of Tonga, the Marquesas, Nootka Sound, and Polynesia in sweeping, luminous detail. Rich in historical significance and decorative impact, these grand panels embody the Enlightenment spirit of discovery, artistry, and global wonder.
