EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1774 showcases the majestic beauty of two fierce feline predators - the Puma and Eurasian Lynx. Created by renowned French draftsman and engraver Francois Nicolas Martinet, this artwork is a testament to his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The composition depicts a powerful Puma, also known as a cougar or mountain lion, alongside an elegant Eurasian Lynx. Both animals are rendered with remarkable precision, capturing their unique features and gracefulness. The copperplate engraving was skillfully executed by Antonio Baratti under Martinet's guidance. This print originated from Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert's monumental work, Encyclopedie: Histoire Naturelle (Encyclopedia: Natural History), published in Livourne in 1774. This encyclopedia aimed to provide comprehensive knowledge about various subjects including natural sciences like zoology. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing the intricate details of these magnificent creatures. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our planet's diverse wildlife. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece in their private collection for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its artistic brilliance and scientific significance. It stands as a testament not only to Martinet's talent but also to the enduring fascination humans have had with nature throughout history.
