Struck by Lightning! A Captivating Glimpse into Nature's Fury
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Struck by Lightning!" takes us back to the 19th century French countryside near Fontainebleau. The image depicts a dramatic scene where three farm workers find themselves in grave danger as they seek shelter under a towering tree during a thunderstorm. The artist, Henri Meyer, skillfully captures the intensity of this catastrophic event through his vivid color lithography. The dark clouds loom ominously overhead as lightning strikes the tree with an electrifying force. Raindrops cascade down like shimmering diamonds, adding to the sense of chaos and impending doom. This artwork was originally created as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on July 1st, 1893. It serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers faced by agricultural workers in their daily lives and highlights the unpredictable nature of weather phenomena. Meyer's work not only showcases his artistic talent but also sheds light on scientific methods used in meteorology during that era. This piece offers valuable insights into botany and natural history while emphasizing France's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of human life when confronted with forces beyond our control. "Struck by Lightning!" stands as a testament to man's eternal struggle against nature's fury and serves as a timeless symbol of courage amidst adversity.
