EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze sculpture captures the essence of a wild boar, believed to be from Gaul and dating back to the 1st-2nd century AD. Standing at a height of just 5.5 cm, this miniature figurine showcases remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail. The profile view allows us to appreciate the intricate features of this ancient creature. Its fierce expression is frozen in time, with its snout slightly raised as if sniffing the air for danger. The artist has skillfully captured the muscular build and powerful stance of the wild boar, emphasizing its untamed nature. As we observe this galloping beast from centuries ago, we are transported back in time to an era when these animals roamed freely across Gaulish lands. This statuette serves as a testament to both artistic talent and cultural significance. Now part of a private collection, this photograph taken by eHeini Schneebeli immortalizes this incredible piece of art that has stood the test of time. It reminds us not only of our fascination with wildlife but also our connection with history through visual representation. Bridgeman Images brings us closer to appreciating such masterpieces by making them accessible beyond their physical locations. Through their efforts, we can delve into different periods and cultures while admiring extraordinary works like this one without any commercial intent or limitations on usage rights.
