EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustave Dore brings to life a scene from Theophile Gautier's novel "Le capitaine Fracasse." In the image, we see the brigand Agostin being attacked by a fierce wolf, while nearby a dead horse lies in a cart. The comedians who were traveling with Agostin are either abandoning him or hiding away, leaving behind the vulnerable little Chiquita.
Dore's intricate details and dramatic composition truly capture the intensity of this moment. The wildness of the wolf juxtaposed with the stillness of death creates a sense of unease and danger. It is as if time has frozen in this chaotic scene, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the story being told.
The artist's skillful hand brings out emotions and tension in every stroke, making us feel as though we are right there witnessing this harrowing event unfold before our eyes. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of both the beauty and brutality that can be found within literature and art.
Overall, this print is not just an illustration but a work of art that transports us into another world filled with adventure, danger, and intrigue.
