The Leap of a Beast

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures an extraordinary moment in circus history. In this stunning color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness the heart-stopping scene of a lion's daring escape during a performance in Perigueux, France. As the audience watches with bated breath, the formidable lion leaps over its cage and tumbles into the crowd. Panic ensues as spectators scramble to safety, fearing for their lives. However, luck was on their side as the stunned animal did not harm anyone amidst the chaos. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in La Domenica Del Corriere on October 16th, 1927. It depicts both the fear and awe experienced by those present at this unexpected turn of events. The image showcases not only the wild beauty and power of these majestic creatures but also highlights humanity's fascination with danger and escapism found within circuses. This historic photograph serves as a reminder of our primal connection to nature and our desire for freedom. It reminds us that even within controlled environments like circuses, untamed instincts can still prevail. "The Leap of a Beast" immortalizes this thrilling moment when boundaries were broken and adrenaline coursed through every spectator's veins. Bridgeman Images has preserved this iconic artwork from Achille Beltrame so that future generations can marvel at its intensity and appreciate the skillful artistry behind it.
