EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century chromolithography print, titled "Tiger hunting scene on the back of an elephant" takes us back in time to witness a thrilling Asian hunt. The artwork, created by French School artist Jean Duvallon, showcases the synergy between man and beast as they embark on a dangerous expedition. In this vivid depiction, we see an Indian hunter perched atop a majestic elephant's back. With his arm firmly gripping a powerful firearm, he exudes both confidence and respect for the tawny predator lurking nearby. The tiger's intense gaze reveals its cunning nature while it stealthily stalks its prey through dense foliage. What makes this artwork truly unique is the inclusion of the Syllabar alphabet of hunts imaging. Each letter represents different elements related to hunting - from weapons and animals to various scenes that unfold during these adventures. This intricate detail adds depth and symbolism to the overall composition. The mastery of chromolithography technique employed by Duvallon brings vibrant colors and lifelike textures to every element within this piece. It transports us into an era where such daring exploits were celebrated as acts of bravery and skill. Preserved in a private collection today, this historical gem allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into cultural practices prevalent in 19th-century India. A true testament to human ingenuity and our eternal fascination with nature's untamed beauty, this print continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
