EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of chaos and survival in the animal kingdom. Titled "Pelicans, aquatic plants and pygmies fleeing before a crocodile" this image is based on original frescoes from the 17th century. The painting was part of the renowned Colombaire de la Villa Pamphilj collection, painted by a talented team of Italian artists including Francesco Cozza, Giacomo Cortese, Giambattista Tassi, and Mattia Preti. In this dramatic composition, we witness pelicans gracefully soaring above an expanse of vibrant aquatic plants. However, their peaceful flight is abruptly interrupted as they spot a menacing crocodile lurking beneath them. Sensing danger, nearby pygmies also scramble to escape the predator's reach. The baroque style employed by these skilled painters adds depth and intensity to the artwork. Every brushstroke brings life to each element - from the intricate details of the pelicans' feathers to the lush greenery that surrounds them. Preserved in Paris' Bibliotheque de la Sorbonne archives since its creation in 1941 by G. Bendinelli through colour lithography techniques; this print showcases nature's raw power and highlights humanity's instinct for self-preservation amidst adversity. Bridgeman Images has beautifully reproduced this historical masterpiece so that art enthusiasts can appreciate its timeless beauty today. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and how even seemingly invincible creatures must flee when faced with imminent
