EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Miners struck by Lightning" transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a dramatic moment frozen in time. The image showcases the sheer power and unpredictability of nature's elements, as forked lightning strikes a group of miners deep underground. The artist from the European School skillfully depicts the intensity of this event, emphasizing the contrast between darkness and light. The digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail, enhancing our connection with this historical scene. Originally created as an illustration for W De Fonvielle's book "Thunder and Lightning" published in 1871, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with meteorology and scientific exploration. It highlights how weather patterns have always captivated scientists and meteorologists alike. Through its composition, this artwork prompts contemplation about our relationship with nature and our attempts to understand its forces through scientific methods. It reminds us that even though we may possess knowledge about climate and meteorological phenomena today, there is still much left unknown. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this print invites viewers to reflect on their place within the grand scheme of things while appreciating both the beauty and danger inherent in natural occurrences like thunderstorms. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an extraordinary piece that sparks curiosity about science, history, artistry - all encapsulated within one striking image.
