EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Il eclate alors tant de passions animales chez l homme" transports us back to the 19th century, where artist JJ Granville brings to life the vivid imagination of Honore de Balzac's writing. The image is part of a series called "Scenes de la vie privee et publique des animaux" published in Paris in 1842. In this particular vignette, we witness an explosion of animalistic passions within human beings. The intricate engravings by Porret depict a lion from Africa embarking on a journey to Paris. As he enters the bustling city, he encounters various individuals who exhibit their own primal instincts and desires. The artwork beautifully captures the affinity between humans and animals, blurring the lines that separate them. Through Granville's skillful illustrations, we are reminded that beneath our civilized exteriors lies an untamed nature waiting to be unleashed. Honore de Balzac's narrative explores themes of desire, passion, and instinctual behavior prevalent in both humans and animals alike. This thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect on our own inner beasts and consider how deeply rooted these primal urges truly are within us all. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Jean Duvallon's collection, it serves as a timeless reminder that despite our advancements as a society, there will always be an undeniable connection between humanity and the animal kingdom.
