EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Walter Spies' "Tierfabel: Tiger and Snake in Combat in a Primeval Forest" an oil on canvas masterpiece from 1928. The painting, measuring 81x65 cm, depicts a fierce battle between a tiger and snake amidst the dense foliage of a primeval forest. Spies, a German artist known for his Southeast Asian influences, skillfully captures the intensity of this confrontation. The image transports viewers to the early twentieth century, immersing them in the wildness of nature and evoking feelings of conflict and clash. The elevated view allows us to witness every detail of this epic fight as these natural enemies confront each other with determination. Amidst the lush greenery and reflective river surface, we see not only the tiger and snake but also glimpses of other animals like deer that inhabit this woodland realm. Spies' mastery lies in his ability to capture both negative concepts such as fighting and positive elements like natural harmony within one composition. As we delve into this artwork's depths, we are reminded that it belongs to an era when European artists were exploring new territories for inspiration. This particular piece exemplifies Spies' unique blend of German artistry with Southeast Asian influences. Bridgeman Images presents us with an opportunity to appreciate this early 20th-century gem by bringing it back into our modern consciousness. Through their lens, we can admire how Spies masterfully conveys tension through brushstrokes while maintaining balance within his composition—a testament to his artistic prowess that continues to captivate audiences today.
