EDITORS COMMENTS
Entre rats (engraving) captures a captivating rural scene from the 19th century French countryside. This intriguing print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for La Chasse Illustree in 1871-72. The image showcases a lush green pasture with corn crops swaying gently in the breeze. The artist skillfully depicts the natural beauty of the rural landscape, immersing viewers in a serene and idyllic setting. However, amidst this peaceful scenery, there is an unexpected twist - two groups of rats engaged in a fierce battle. The engraving portrays their clash as they confront each other with determination and aggression. It symbolizes not only the fight for survival but also reflects on broader themes such as conflict and competition within nature. This artwork offers insight into scientific methods and botanical studies prevalent during that era. It highlights the importance of understanding natural history and how it relates to food supply and agriculture. Beyond its scientific significance, Entre rats also touches upon bloodsports like hunting that were popular at the time. It subtly comments on human behavior by juxtaposing animal conflicts with family dynamics, reminding us of our own primal instincts. Overall, this print provides a thought-provoking glimpse into both rural life in France during the 19th century and humanity's complex relationship with nature.
