EDITORS COMMENTS
. This thought-provoking photo print, created by the talented artist Allart van Everdingen in the 17th century, captures a powerful allegorical scene that continues to resonate with viewers today. Titled "The Cat Trapped and Beaten" this black and white etching showcases Van Everdingen's artistic prowess and his ability to infuse animals with human-like qualities. In this intriguing artwork, we witness an intense moment as a feline protagonist finds itself under attack. The cat's expressive eyes convey fear and vulnerability while its body language reflects desperation. Through anthropomorphism, Van Everdingen invites us to reflect on our own experiences of struggle and adversity.
