EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of both tragedy and resilience in the 19th century. In this vividly colored lithograph, we witness a scene that unfolded when Mademoiselle Demongeot, the sister-in-law of French politician Alexandre Ribot, attempted to coax an escaped horse back into its field. However, her noble intentions were met with unexpected danger as the horse delivered a powerful kick. The image portrays the aftermath of this terrible ruade (kick), showcasing the injured woman and highlighting the physical toll such accidents can take. Published in Le Petit Journal on July 3rd, 1898, this illustration serves as a stark reminder of the risks faced by those who work closely with animals. Intriguingly, beyond its historical significance lies deeper themes related to medicine and healthcare. The wounded limb depicted here prompts contemplation about injury treatment during that era and how medical science has advanced since then. Asclepius, symbolizing healing and medicine in Greek mythology, seems to cast his watchful gaze upon this unfortunate incident. The presence of horses - racehorses, ponies, shire horses - further emphasizes their role as majestic yet unpredictable creatures. This print from Fine Art Finder transports us back to a time when farm animals played an integral part in daily life while shedding light on one woman's harrowing experience. It serves as a testament to human vulnerability but also our ability to overcome adversity through determination and perseverance.
