EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A lion tamer injured by a lion" captures a dramatic moment in history. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this colour lithograph depicts an intense scene at the Hippodrome in Paris. The image showcases a fearless lion tamer who has been wounded by one of his ferocious lions. The composition is filled with tension and danger as the assistant desperately tries to fend off the attacking lion while the tamer lies injured on the ground. The vibrant colours bring life to this heart-stopping moment, emphasizing both the beauty and brutality of these majestic animals. This artwork was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on November 18,1900, adding historical significance to its artistic value. It serves as a reminder of the risks that come with working closely with wild animals and highlights their untamed nature. The image also raises questions about human-animal relationships and our fascination with dangerous spectacles. It prompts us to reflect on themes such as bravery, vulnerability, and our responsibility towards wildlife. With its rich symbolism and powerful imagery, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a thrilling episode from France's past. It stands as a testament to both human resilience in face of adversity and our enduring fascination with these magnificent creatures.
