EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Beast of Gevaudan" a famous 18th-century colour engraving by the French School. Published in 1764 by Basset, this artwork is now housed at the Musee Nat. des Arts et Traditions Populaires in Paris, France. In this intriguing image, we witness a wild and ferocious female wolf caught in the midst of attacking its prey. The monster-like creature's menacing gaze and sharp teeth are captured with remarkable detail, evoking both fear and awe. The scene depicts a thrilling capture during a hunting expedition in Languedoc, Lozere - an area known for its encounters with dangerous animals. The hunter bravely aims his shotgun towards the beast while desperately trying to defend himself from its relentless assault. Legend has it that this fearsome animal was not just any ordinary wolf but possibly a werewolf – adding an element of mystery to the already gripping narrative. The artist skillfully conveys the intensity of this encounter through intricate engravings that bring every hair on the she-wolf's body to life. "The Beast of Gevaudan" serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle against nature's untamed forces. This timeless piece captures our fascination with wildlife and reminds us of our primal instincts when faced with danger. As we admire this historic engraving, we cannot help but marvel at how art can transport us back in time and ignite our imagination even centuries later.
