EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The superiority of man, Act I, the lion at home" we are transported into a world where the boundaries between humans and animals blur. The image, captured by Phil May in 1903, showcases his incredible talent for storytelling through art. At first glance, we see a majestic lion lounging comfortably in what appears to be a domestic setting - an unexpected sight that immediately piques our curiosity. The artist's choice of vibrant colors in this lithograph adds depth and intensity to the scene, drawing us further into its narrative. As we delve deeper into the composition, it becomes evident that May is exploring themes of power dynamics and human dominance over nature. The juxtaposition of the regal lion against a backdrop reminiscent of a living room challenges our preconceived notions about wild animals confined within their natural habitats. May's work invites us to question our own place within the animal kingdom and reflect on how humanity has asserted its superiority throughout history. Through his masterful technique and attention to detail, he forces us to confront these complex ideas with both wonderment and unease. This thought-provoking piece from Bridgeman Images serves as a reminder that even within familiar surroundings, there is still much untamed beauty waiting to be discovered – if only we dare to look beyond what meets the eye.
