EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white etching titled "Surprise, 19th century" created by Francois-Nicolas Chifflart, we are transported back to a dramatic moment in history. Set in the French countryside during the 19th century, this artwork captures the essence of surprise and danger. The scene unfolds with a group of men on horseback, unsuspectingly ambushed by a fierce lion. The attackers' faces reflect sheer astonishment as they find themselves face-to-face with this wild animal. The tension is palpable as both man and beast confront each other in an unexpected encounter. Chifflart's attention to detail brings life to every element within the composition. From the intricate etchings that depict the texture of horses' manes to capturing the expressions of shock on each individual's face, his artistic skill shines through. This print not only showcases Chifflart's mastery but also serves as a reminder of our primal connection with nature and its untamed creatures. It transports us into an era where surprises lurked around every corner and survival instincts were put to test. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece stands as a testament to Chifflart's contribution to heritage art. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today, offering them a glimpse into an intense moment frozen in time - forever preserving the thrill and vulnerability that comes with encountering wild animals unexpectedly.
