EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 721), we are transported back to the year 1887, where Eadweard Muybridge masterfully captures a mesmerizing sequence featuring a majestic lion in motion. The sheer power and grace of this terrestrial mammal is beautifully showcased as it effortlessly moves through its natural habitat. Muybridge's keen eye for detail allows us to witness the intricate movements of the lion, revealing every muscle flexing and sinew stretching with each stride. The intensity in its eyes is palpable, reflecting both focus and determination as it navigates its surroundings. As one of nature's most revered vertebrates, lions symbolize strength, courage, and leadership. This image serves as a powerful reminder of their significance within the animal kingdom. It evokes a sense of awe and respect for these magnificent creatures that have captivated human imagination throughout history. The timeless quality of this photograph adds an extra layer of intrigue. Preserved by Alinari, it stands as a testament to Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through sequential photography. His groundbreaking studies revolutionized our understanding of locomotion not only in animals but also in humans. This particular print transcends mere documentation; it encapsulates artistry at its finest. Through careful composition and impeccable timing, Muybridge immortalizes an ephemeral moment that would otherwise be lost to time. Whether displayed on gallery walls or cherished within personal collections, this remarkable piece invites viewers into a world where animals roam freely – untamed yet harmoniously connected with their environment. It reminds us that even today we can find inspiration from these incredible beings who share our planet.
