EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Gustave Dore's painting "Acrobats - The Saltimbanks" with incredible detail and emotion. Created in 1874, this masterpiece is housed at the Musee d'Art Roger Quilliot in Clermont-Ferrand, France. In this scene, we witness a troupe of acrobats performing their daring stunts under the big top. However, our attention is immediately drawn to a wounded child amidst the spectacle. The young girl stands out with her blood-stained costume and an expression of sadness and pain on her face. The artist skillfully portrays the fragility of human life through this injured acrobat. With his meticulous brushstrokes, Dore conveys not only physical injury but also emotional turmoil. The presence of an owl perched nearby adds a sense of foreboding to the composition. As we delve deeper into this image, we can't help but feel anxiety for both the wounded child and her concerned mother who watches from afar. It serves as a reminder that accidents can happen even in seemingly joyful settings like circuses. Through his artistry, Dore prompts us to reflect on themes such as family bonds, health challenges, and resilience in times of adversity. This photograph by Leonard de Selva beautifully captures these elements while honoring Dore's original work. Whether you are captivated by French art or intrigued by circus performances, this print will surely evoke emotions and spark conversations about humanity's delicate balance between
