EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, illustrating a scene from Alexandre Dumas' novel "Le leader de loups". The engraving by Edouard Riou depicts Thibault, the protagonist, seemingly trapped in an infernal circle. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the intensity of this moment. In the center of the composition stands Thibault, surrounded by a pack of menacing wolves. Their piercing eyes and bared teeth create a sense of danger and impending doom. As if under their spell, Thibault appears both vulnerable and defiant at once. The night sky hangs above them, illuminated only by a crescent moon that casts an eerie glow on the scene below. A solitary owl perched on a nearby tree branch adds to the mysterious atmosphere while a bird of prey hovers overhead. Riou's mastery lies in his ability to convey emotion through intricate lines and shading techniques. Every stroke brings life to each animal depicted - from the fierce she-wolf leading her pack to every strand of fur on their bodies. This remarkable illustration transports us into Dumas' world where man battles against nature's forces. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness and chaos, there is beauty in art that transcends time.
