The Thief and the Lion
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame, depicting a dramatic moment of danger and suspense. In this scene, an unwary thief has found himself trapped in the cages of wild animals after attempting to rob the cashiers' bandwagon following a circus performance in Myslovitz, Poland. The image showcases the power and ferocity of the lion as it corners the criminal, its tremendous paws ready to strike. The thief's desperate screams attract the attention of tamers who rush to his aid, but freeing him proves to be no easy task. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on 14 March 1937 captures not only the intensity of this particular incident but also highlights the inherent risks associated with circuses and their wild animal acts. It serves as a reminder that even criminals can fall prey to nature's raw strength. This print from Fine Art Finder provides viewers with a glimpse into a dangerous world where thieves face unexpected consequences for their actions. The vivid colours and intricate details bring this thrilling moment to life, leaving us captivated by both the bravery of those who protect us from harm and humbled by nature's untamed power.
