EDITORS COMMENTS
Lion's Head, n.d. Creator: Sawrey Gilpin (British, 1733-1807) This exquisite print, titled "Lion's Head," is a testament to the artistic prowess of Sawrey Gilpin during the 18th century in England. Gilpin, a renowned animal artist of his time, masterfully captured the raw power and majesty of this wild creature in this pen and black ink drawing with graphite on cream laid paper. The close-up view of the lion's head, with its piercing eyes and mane in full flow, is a stunning example of the Romantic Era's fascination with the natural world. The intricate details of the lion's facial features, from the wrinkles on its forehead to the individual hairs on its mane, are rendered with remarkable precision and depth. This print is a valuable addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, showcasing the beauty and complexity of wildlife during the Romantic Era. The use of pen and ink with graphite creates an outline effect, adding to the drawing's textured and detailed appearance. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its extensive collection of prints and drawings. This artwork is not only a visual delight but also a historical treasure, offering a glimpse into the artistic traditions of Britain during the 18th century. The timeless appeal of Gilpin's work continues to captivate art lovers and scholars alike, making this print a must-have for anyone interested in the history of art and wildlife portraiture.
