EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Hunting lion in Africa" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a thrilling scene of big game hunting on the African plains. The French School artist skillfully captures the intensity and danger of this sport. In this vivid image, we see an African landscape teeming with life as two hunters, mounted on horseback, chase down a majestic lion. The hunters are depicted as skilled sportsmen or sportswomen, displaying their courage and agility while engaging in this daring pursuit. The composition highlights the power dynamics at play during such hunts. The horses gallop fiercely across the terrain as they try to keep up with the swift lion. With weapons in hand, these brave individuals face off against one of nature's most formidable predators. The print not only showcases the excitement and thrill of hunting but also serves as an educational tool from that era. It offers insights into different cultures and traditions by featuring Arab figures participating in this activity alongside Europeans. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork transports us to a time when big game hunting was seen as both a challenging sport and an opportunity for exploration. It reminds us of our complex relationship with wildlife throughout history. This fascinating piece is part of a private collection and is made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform for art enthusiasts who appreciate historical depictions like these.
