EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography from the late 19th century showcases an old custom celebrated in the picturesque region of Flanders: Cockfighting. The artist behind this exquisite piece remains unknown, yet their talent shines through in every intricate detail. The print transports us back to a time when rooster fights were a beloved tradition in Belgium, steeped in regionalism and French influence. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition bring to life the intensity of these bird battles, capturing both the beauty and brutality of nature. Cockfighting was not merely a sport but also a symbol of pride and honor for the Flemish people. This age-old custom brought communities together, fostering camaraderie among spectators who eagerly cheered on their chosen champion. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the deep connection between humans and animals throughout history. It serves as a testament to our fascination with nature's power and resilience. Now preserved within a private collection, this chromolithography allows us to appreciate the rich heritage and cultural significance attached to such customs. Its presence evokes nostalgia for simpler times while also prompting contemplation about our evolving relationship with animals. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful reproduction ensures that this remarkable piece continues to captivate audiences today. Through his work, he pays homage to an era long past while inviting us to reflect on our own traditions and their place in society.
