In the realm of the wild stag, a captivating world unfolds before our eyes. Through lithographs and oil paintings, we are transported to scenes where animals and people coexist in both harmony and conflict. One such painting, "Diana and Actaeon, " takes us back to the late 16th century. The canvas depicts a mythical encounter between Diana, goddess of the hunt, and Actaeon, who stumbled upon her while she bathed. This clash of mortal and divine showcases the power dynamics inherent in nature. Moving forward in time, an etching titled "A fox calls out a quack toad" captures a whimsical moment amidst nature's tapestry. It reminds us that even within the animal kingdom, unexpected alliances can form as creatures communicate across species boundaries. On another lithograph from Mauritius' capital city Port-Louis emerges an astonishing tale - a deer attacking with unprecedented ferocity. This image serves as a reminder that even seemingly docile beings possess untamed instincts when their survival is at stake. The Zoological Garden becomes an unlikely stage for intrigue as an indigenous Indian police officer ventures into the deer enclosure. In this colorful lithograph, we witness his daring infiltration into their domain – showcasing humanity's curiosity about these majestic creatures. "The Beacon Man at War" presents yet another facet of human interaction with wildlife through its vibrant colors on lithographic paper. Here we see how man harnesses nature's beauty for practical purposes during times of conflict. Etchings from 1811 reveal more intimate moments between stags and their offspring or fierce battles against predators like lions or hounds caught by antlers. These engravings depict both tender familial bonds among these noble creatures and brutal struggles for survival within their natural habitat. Finally, an engraving from the 18th century transports us to stag hunting expeditions where men pursued these magnificent beasts with determination bordering on obsession.
