EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling and terrifying moment on a beach near Toulon. In the image, a gigantic octopus is exposed in a tub or pool, its enormous tentacles gripping tightly onto a young boy who had innocently dipped his hand into the water. The scene is filled with panic and chaos as terrified relatives and bystanders scream in terror. Desperate rescue attempts are made by brave fishermen, but it is one fisherman wielding a knife who ultimately breaks the dangerous grip of the octopus, freeing the frightened child. The tension and fear in this moment are palpable as everyone watches anxiously. The artist Achille Beltrame skillfully depicts this dramatic event with vivid colors and intricate details. His illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday on April 17th, 1932. This powerful image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger that can be found in nature. It also highlights humanity's ability to come together in times of crisis to protect one another from harm. Whether displayed in an art gallery or private collection, this print will surely captivate viewers with its intense storytelling and masterful execution by Beltrame.
