520 1 $a"In this book, Miles Harvey reveals one of the most fascinating and overlooked lives in American history. Painter in a Savage Land is a compelling search into the mysteries of the past. This is the thrilling story of Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues, the first European artist to journey to what is now the continental United States with the express purpose of recording its wonders in pencil and paint. Le Moyne's images, which survive today in a series of spectacular engravings, provide a rare glimpse of Native American life at the pivotal time of first contact with the Europeans - most of whom arrived with the preconceived notion that the New World was an almost mythical place in which anything was possible." "In 1564 Le Moyne and three hundred other French Protestants landed off the coast of Florida, hoping to establish the first permanent European settlement in the sprawling territory that would become the United States. Their quest ended in gruesome violence, but Le Mayne was one of the few colonists to escape, returning across the Atlantic to create dozens of illustrations of the local Native Americans - works of lasting importance to scholars. Today, he is also recognized as an influential early painter of flowers and plants."--BOOK JACKET.
