EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Russia in 1859, where a thrilling wolf hunting scene unfolds. The image showcases the resourcefulness of the hunters as they employ an unconventional bait - a pig. Published in "Le Monde Illustre" on December 24th, 1859, this engraving captures a moment frozen in time. The setting is undoubtedly harsh, with winter's icy grip evident all around. A sleigh serves as the transport vehicle for these brave hunters who navigate through the treacherous terrain. Clad in heavy coats and armed with guns, their determination to protect their livestock from these formidable predators is palpable. Intriguingly, amidst this wintry landscape stands a lone horse tethered nearby; its presence adds an air of mystery to the scene. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork by Stefano Bianchetti, we can almost feel the biting cold and hear the crunching snow beneath our feet. The juxtaposition between man and beast becomes apparent as we observe both hunter and hunted locked in an intense battle for survival. This depiction not only highlights human ingenuity but also pays homage to nature's untamed beauty. Through this evocative print, Bianchetti transports us back to a time when life was rugged yet filled with adventure. It serves as a testament to mankind's enduring spirit against adversity while capturing an important aspect of Russian history - wolf hunting during that era.
