Description: This is a VINTAGE ORIGINAL PRINT of an Ancient HAWAII TIKI BEACH EVENT from artist PETER HURD from around 1824. Titled "KAPIOLANI DEFYING PELE AT KILAUEA 1824" PRINTED IN HAWAII FOR AMERICAN FACTIONS LTD BY PETER HURD N. A. @ THE story of the high chiefess Kapiolani and her conflict with Pele, the goddess of Kilauea, in December, 1824, is historic. It belongs, however, to the volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands, and is more important than any myth. Kapiolani was the daughter of Keawe-mau-hili, who was the high chief of the district of Hilo. He was the uncle of Kiwalao, the young king of the island Hawaii, who was killed by Kamehameha's warriors when Kamehameha became king of that island. Kapiolani as a little child was in the camp with her father at the time of the battle. She was in danger of death, but some men carried her over Peter Hurd (February 22, 1904 – July 9, 1984) was an American painter whose work is strongly associated with the people and landscapes of San Patricio, New Mexico, where he lived from the 1930s. He is equally acclaimed for his portraits and his western landscapes. Early in his life, Hurd studied in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania under the noted illustrator N.C. Wyeth, along with two of his grown children. Hurd later married the painter's eldest daughter, Henriette Wyeth, who also is known as an accomplished painter. During World War II, Hurd worked for Life magazine as a war correspondent attached to the US Air Force. He created hundreds of "War Sketches". ORIGINAL PRINT is 19 x 15 ITEM in GOOD as SEEN Condition.
