The Eccentricities of Parisian Life, A Wedding Lunch in a Cage of Lions
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by Achille Beltrame takes us back to the vibrant streets of Paris in 1900. In this bizarre and daring scene, we witness a wedding lunch like no other - set within the confines of a lion's cage. The groom, dressed impeccably in his finest attire, stands nervously beside his beautiful bride as they share their first meal as husband and wife. Surrounded by a curious crowd, both human and feline, this spectacle captures the essence of eccentricity that was synonymous with Parisian society at the time. It is an image that challenges conventionality and embraces danger with its portrayal of wild animals alongside refined elegance. The juxtaposition between the dangerous lions and the celebratory atmosphere creates an eerie sense of excitement. The onlookers are captivated by this unusual display, drawn to witness such an audacious event unfold before their eyes. Beltrame's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate dresses worn by guests to the majestic presence of these untamed creatures. This lithograph serves as a testament to not only artistic skill but also societal curiosity and fascination with all things strange and outlandish. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one of the many peculiarities that made Parisian life so enchanting during this era.
