EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Gustave Dore, titled "Lapland Peasants pursued by Wolves" the viewer is transported to a chilling scene in the heart of Lapland. The print depicts a group of peasants desperately fleeing from a pack of ravenous wolves through the snow-covered landscape. Dore's intricate detailing brings this harrowing moment to life, as each peasant's fear-stricken face and frantic movements are etched with precision. The tension is palpable as the peasants struggle against nature's relentless pursuit. The composition showcases both the vulnerability and resilience of these Lapland villagers. Their tattered clothing and worn-out expressions reflect their humble existence, while their determination to survive shines through their desperate flight. Set against the backdrop of Norway's breathtaking scenery, this artwork not only captures an intense animal attack but also offers a glimpse into rural life in 19th-century Scandinavia. It serves as a reminder that even in remote corners of Europe, humans must constantly battle against forces beyond their control. This remarkable piece from Dore's portfolio was originally created for publication in Illustrated Times on February 21st, 1857. Now preserved within a private collection, it continues to captivate audiences with its dramatic portrayal of human struggle amidst untamed wilderness.
