Barenjagd / Bear Hunting (colour litho)
8666170 Barenjagd / Bear Hunting (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Barenjagd. Seit im neuen Deutschland der verprugelte Bar an der Leine des Ziegeuners abgeschafft ist, sehen wir Baren nur noch in Tiergarten. In den Karpathen aber trifft man ihn noch heute, doch seine Jagd erfordert weniger Mut als Geld. Fruher, als man in Deutschland mit dem Spiess jagte, war es gefahrlich, denn Meister Petz hat nicht nur Riesenkrafte, sondern ist auch ausserst flink und gewandt. Translation: Bear Hunting. Since the beating of a bar on a gypsy's leash was abolished in the new Germany, we only see bears in Tiergarten. You can still meet him in the Carpathians today, but his hunt requires less courage than money. In the past, when people used to hunt with a spear in Germany, it was dangerous because Master Petz not only has enormous strength, but is also extremely quick and agile.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) depicts a scene of Barenjagd, or bear hunting, set in the Carpathian Mountains. The image transports us to a time when hunting with spears was a dangerous and courageous pursuit, as hunters faced off against the formidable Master Petz with his immense strength and agility.
The detailed illustration captures the intensity of the hunt, showcasing the skill and bravery required to take down such a powerful creature. In contrast to modern times where bears are only seen in zoos or wildlife reserves, this print reminds us of a time when encounters with these majestic animals were more common in their natural habitat.
The vibrant colours and intricate details bring this historical moment to life, allowing us to imagine ourselves alongside the hunters as they track their prey through rugged terrain. The artist's attention to detail truly immerses us in this thrilling adventure, highlighting both the beauty and danger of bear hunting in days gone by.
As we gaze upon this striking print, we are reminded of the rich history and traditions that have shaped our relationship with nature and wildlife. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to the natural world and the importance of respecting its inhabitants.
