EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "A Subject for Meditation" artist Gaston Gelibert takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a serene natural setting. The print showcases an intricate scene of wildlife, with rabbits and hares caught in snares amidst lush surroundings. The composition invites viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between man and nature, as well as the ethical implications of our actions. As we gaze upon these trapped creatures, their vulnerability becomes apparent, evoking a sense of empathy within us. Gelibert's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched on paper seems to breathe life into each animal depicted. Through his masterful technique, he captures not only the physical characteristics but also the essence of these wild beings. The monochromatic palette adds a timeless quality to the artwork while emphasizing its contemplative nature. This piece was originally created as an illustration for The Graphic magazine in March 1884, offering readers a momentary escape from their daily lives through art. Now preserved in a private collection and made available by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print continues to captivate audiences with its thought-provoking subject matter and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder that even today we can find solace and inspiration in reflecting upon our relationship with nature – making it an ideal addition to any art enthusiast's collection or meditation space.
