EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A sentry stopping a bull" captures a dramatic moment in history. Taken by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases the bravery and quick thinking of a soldier faced with an enraged bull. The scene unfolds outside an animal market where the soldier was stationed on guard duty. In a twist of fate, the massive bull managed to escape its confines and set its sights on the soldier, driven into fury by his vibrant red trousers. With only seconds to react, the sentry bravely stands his ground, ready to defend himself against this formidable adversary. Armed with nothing but his bayonet and sheer determination, he confronts the charging beast head-on. The intensity of their encounter is palpable as both man and animal lock eyes in a battle for survival. This image serves as a testament to human courage in face of danger. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on May 27th, 1900, this artwork offers us a glimpse into historical events that unfolded during that time period. It reminds us of France's rich military heritage and its connection with wildlife and livestock markets. Through this powerful composition captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only one man's heroic act but also gain insight into French culture at large.
