"René Goulaine de Laudonnière (1529–1582) was a French Huguenot explorer and the founder of the short-lived French colony of Fort Caroline in present-day Jacksonville, Florida. An officer under Jean Ribault during the initial attempt to establish a French settlement in Florida in 1562, Laudonnière returned in 1564 to lead the expedition that would establish Fort Caroline. His leadership was marked by struggles, including conflicts with the local Native American tribes, internal dissent among his crew, and the lack of supplies and support from France. Despite these challenges, Laudonière's efforts were significant in the early French attempts to colonize the southeastern coast of North America.

One of the most iconic depictions of René Goulaine de Laudonnière's interactions with the indigenous peoples of Florida is the artwork titled 'René Goulaine de Laudonnière and Chief Athore in Front of Ribault's Column' by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues. Le Moyne, an artist and member of Laudonnière's expedition, created a series of works documenting the French presence in Florida and their encounters with the Timucua people. This particular work captures a moment of diplomatic exchange between the French colonists and the Native Americans, with Chief Athore, a prominent leader of the Timucua, shown alongside Laudonnière in front of a stone column erected by Ribault's earlier expedition as a claim to the land for France.

The historical significance of this artwork lies in its portrayal of early European and Native American relations and the role of visual documentation in shaping our understanding of these encounters. As one of the few surviving visual records from this period of French exploration in the New World, Jacques le Moyne de Morgues' work is an invaluable resource for historians and art scholars alike. However, it is important to note that the accuracy of these depictions is subject to interpretation, as they were created from the perspective of the European colonists and may reflect their biases and agendas."
