Description
What a stunning historical piece of one of Haiti’s heroes by our best-known old masters!
Christophe was one of the generals who led the native army to victory against the colonial power. The result was the creation of an independent Haitian nation. Three years later, however, a political schism was to divide Haiti into two states. Christophe reigned in the north and crowned himself King on June 2nd, 1807, at Le Cap-Haitien, thus establishing a hereditary monarchy. (Peintres Haitiens).
