EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Dispute of the cocks and hens" takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into a historical battle between two feisty farm animals. The illustration is part of an illustrious collection by French School, reproduced in Eduard Fuchs' renowned book on social history. In this black and white depiction, we witness a fierce confrontation between a proud rooster and a determined hen. Their feathers ruffled with intensity, they engage in an epic clash that symbolizes power dynamics within nature. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this age-old struggle for dominance. The scene is set against the backdrop of a calendar image, suggesting that such disputes were not only common but also significant enough to be recorded for posterity. Dressed in summer clothes and adorned with hats and sombreros, men observe this spectacle from afar, adding another layer of intrigue to the composition. As we delve deeper into this artwork's details, it becomes apparent that it serves as more than just an aesthetic piece; it offers us insights into human history as well. Through its portrayal of domesticated birds engaging in combat over territory or hierarchy, it reminds us of our own primal instincts and our constant quest for power throughout time. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this remarkable piece from the past through their fine art print collection. It invites viewers to reflect on our shared heritage while appreciating the artistic brilliance captured within each stroke of ink on paper.
