EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Bergere keeping his sheep in the countryside, under the threatening gaze of a wolf" takes us back to the early 1900s and immerses us in a scene straight out of G. Montorgueil's book "La Cantiniere". Illustrated by Job (Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Breville), this artwork beautifully captures the essence of rural life during that era. In this vivid depiction, we see a shepherdess, or Bergere, diligently tending to her flock of sheep and beliers amidst the picturesque countryside. The vibrant colors bring to life every detail of the landscape - from rolling hills to lush greenery. However, what truly captivates our attention is the intense gaze of a lurking wolf nearby. Its presence adds an element of danger and suspense to an otherwise serene setting. The artist skillfully portrays not only the beauty but also the challenges faced by those living off the land. The woman's determined expression reflects her dedication as she protects her precious livestock from potential harm. This image serves as a reminder of how closely intertwined humans were with nature at that time - relying on their animals for sustenance and livelihood. As we admire this enchanting illustration created over a century ago, it transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It serves as a testament to Job's talent for capturing moments frozen in time while evoking emotions that transcend generations.
