EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving by Riou for Alexandre Dumas's novel "The Leader of Wolves" captures a moment of despair and destruction. Thibault, the protagonist, is depicted sitting in the midst of his burning cottage, surrounded by a pack of wolves. The smoke billows around him, symbolizing the devastation that has befallen his home. The detailed illustration conveys a sense of sadness and doom as Thibault faces the loss of everything he holds dear. The wolves, usually seen as symbols of strength and freedom, now appear menacing in their proximity to the human figure amidst the ruins. Engraved by Crepaux in the 19th century, this scene encapsulates the themes of nature versus civilization and man's struggle against adversity. The black and white composition adds to the dramatic effect, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history - a moment where one man confronts not only external threats but also his inner demons. It serves as a powerful reminder of our fragile existence and our constant battle against forces beyond our control. © Patrice Cartier's masterful rendering brings this poignant scene to life with exquisite detail and emotion.
