Description
A portrait of empire through the biographies of a Native American, a Pacific Islander, and the British artist who painted them both
Three interconnected eighteenth-century lives offer a fresh account of the British empire and its intrusion into Indigenous societies. This engaging history brings together the stories of Joshua Reynolds and two Indigenous men, the Cherokee Ostenaco and the Ra‘iatean Mai.
Fullagar uncovers the life of Ostenaco, tracing his emergence as a warrior, his engagement with colonists through war and peace, and his eventual rejection of imperial politics during the American Revolution. She delves into the story of Mai, examining his confrontation with conquest and displacement, his voyage to London on Cook’s imperial expedition, and his return home with a burning ambition to right past wrongs.
Woven throughout is a new history of Reynolds—growing up in Devon near a key port in England, becoming a portraitist of empire, rising to the top of Britain’s art world, and yet remaining ambivalent about his nation’s expansionist trajectory.

Kate Fullagar's The Warrior, the Voyager, and the Artist is highly praised for its engaging narrative and imaginative conception. The book offers a fascinating mix of art history, political analysis, and biography, focusing on the lives of Joshua Reynolds, Ostenaco, and Mai, while providing a rich historical context. Fullagar is commended for her ability to challenge Eurocentric notions with a compelling portrayal of indigenous perspectives and for offering a new, nuanced view of Georgian Britain. The work is described as both surprising and convincing, deftly intertwining the stories of these individuals with the broader canvas of the British Empire.
