EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from around 1830 captures a dramatic moment at sea, as a shark that has bitten the hamecon finds the bait too minimal and sets its sights on swallowing the sinner instead. The intricate details of this scene, including the fishing rod, boat, and coastline in the background, transport viewers back to a time when danger lurked beneath the surface of every wave.
The alphabet theme adds an educational element to this artwork, reminding us of childhood lessons about animals and transportation. The French lithograph by Becquet Freres showcases their skillful rendering of both human figures and marine creatures.
As we gaze upon this print of Peer's work, we are drawn into a world where man battles nature in a struggle for survival. The tension between predator and prey is palpable in this composition, making it a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences today.
Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty of finely crafted engravings, this image is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who behold it. Let yourself be transported to another era with Peer's striking depiction of life on the high seas.
