EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaotic scene of an unexpected escape by lions and lionesses from a circus in Odessa during rehearsals for their show. The vivid color lithograph, created by Achille Beltrame, showcases the sheer power and wildness of these magnificent creatures as they break free from captivity. The image depicts a thrilling moment filled with tension and excitement. The sand-covered arena serves as the backdrop for this dramatic spectacle, where the animals are seen running amidst a panicked crowd. With snarling faces and fierce determination, the big cats flee their captors, evoking both fear and awe among onlookers. As chaos ensues, rifles are raised in an attempt to regain control over the situation. The audience watches in disbelief as these majestic predators fight against confinement, showcasing their untamed nature. In this battle between man and beast, it becomes evident that even trained animals can never fully suppress their instincts. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on February 12th, 1905 - capturing a significant news item at that time. This artwork not only highlights the daring escape but also sheds light on society's fascination with spectacles involving wildlife. Through this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of both our admiration for these incredible creatures and our primal fear when confronted with them outside controlled environments.
