EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Lion Snarling". Dutch artist Cornelis Saftleven skillfully captures the raw power and intensity of a majestic lion. Created between 1625 and 1633, the artwork showcases Saftleven's mastery in using black and red chalk, along with black and brown washes, to bring the ferocious creature to life. Measuring at 39.5 x 32.9 cm (15 9/16 x 12 15/16 in. ), this striking piece commands attention with its intricate details and dynamic composition. The lion's snarl is frozen in time, revealing its sharp teeth and fiery gaze that exudes both strength and vulnerability. Saftleven's expertise shines through as he expertly blends different mediums to create depth and texture within the drawing. The contrast between the bold strokes of red chalk against the subtle shades of brown washes adds an extra layer of drama to the overall image. This remarkable print from Liszt Collection transports viewers into an encounter with untamed nature, evoking a sense of awe for these magnificent creatures. It serves as a testament to Saftleven's ability to capture not only physical likeness but also emotions within his art. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a larger collection, this powerful depiction will undoubtedly captivate art enthusiasts who appreciate masterful technique combined with emotive storytelling.
