EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph titled "Romanian soldiers devoured by wolves" transports us back to a chilling moment in history. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this artwork depicts a horrifying scene that unfolded during winter in Romania. The image showcases a pack of hungry and ferocious wolves attacking a group of Romanian soldiers. The soldiers, armed forces representing their combat unit, find themselves overwhelmed as they face not only the harshness of winter but also the relentless onslaught from these wild creatures. The intensity of the attack is palpable as the soldiers fight for their lives against this unexpected enemy. The artist masterfully captures the horror and desperation on both sides - humans defending themselves while being devoured by nature's predators. Amongst them stands out an imposing she-wolf leading her pack with ruthless efficiency, reminiscent of ancient tales where such animals were feared and respected. This print was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on February 10th, 1901, showcasing its historical significance. It serves as a haunting reminder of the dangers faced by troops during wartime and highlights nature's untamed power even amidst human conflict. Bridgeman Images has preserved this powerful piece from private collection ensuring that we can reflect upon this tragic event and appreciate its artistic value today.
