The King Drinks, 1881
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the majestic beauty of nature and the regal presence of a lion. Created by Briton Riviere in 1922, this painting can be found in the Royal Academy in London. The image captures a serene moment as a lion gracefully laps water from a river, quenching its thirst under the night sky. The artwork evokes a sense of awe and admiration for both the power and vulnerability of this magnificent creature. The artist's skillful use of color brings out the richness of the lion's fur against the dark backdrop, creating an atmosphere that is both mysterious and enchanting. This print was featured in "Bibbys Annual 1922", edited by Joseph Bibby. It serves as a testament to how art transcends time, as it was originally painted in 1881 but still captivates audiences well into the twentieth century. "The King Drinks" reminds us of our connection to nature and our shared need for sustenance. It symbolizes not only physical thirst but also represents deeper desires for knowledge, power, or fulfillment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our own humanity and mortality while being transported into an ethereal world where kings roam freely alongside wild animals. This print truly encapsulates both artistry and storytelling at its finest.
