EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sketch of a lioness and her cubs, originally depicted on Nicola Pisano's Siena Pulpit. Created in June 1870 by the renowned artist John Ruskin, this exquisite piece is now housed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK. The sketch beautifully captures the essence of maternal care and protection within the animal kingdom. The lioness stands tall and fierce, embodying strength and guardianship over her precious cubs. Her watchful eyes exhibit an unwavering dedication to their well-being. Ruskin's use of watercolor and bodycolor over graphite creates a delicate yet powerful image on blue-grey wove paper. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, showcasing his mastery as an artist. This artwork not only reflects the natural bond between mother and child but also carries religious undertones often associated with ecclesiastical sculptures. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of nurturing love and protection within our own lives. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing sketch, we are reminded that motherhood knows no bounds - whether it be among humans or animals. This timeless masterpiece continues to inspire awe for its portrayal of maternal instinct and devotion throughout history.
