EDITORS COMMENTS
Death of the Musk Ox, pub. London 1874 (woodcut) captures a haunting scene amidst the desolate Arctic landscape. This woodcut print, created by an anonymous German artist in the 19th century, depicts a bleak and frozen environment where an expedition led by Captain Koldewey encountered tragedy. The image is inspired by the German Arctic expedition of 1869-70 and Narrative of the wreck of the Hansa in the Ice. In this gripping narrative, Captain Koldewey recounts their ill-fated journey to the North Pole aboard the Hansa, which ultimately resulted in disaster. In this particular scene, we witness hunters bravely venturing into treacherous conditions to hunt down a musk ox. The dying creature lies on icy terrain as its life slowly fades away. The woodcut effectively conveys both beauty and sorrow through intricate details that capture every emotion etched onto these explorers' faces. This print serves as a testament to human resilience and our insatiable thirst for adventure and discovery even in harsh environments like the Arctic. It reminds us of both nature's unforgiving power and our own vulnerability when faced with such extreme circumstances. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into history while evoking contemplation about mankind's relationship with wild animals and untamed landscapes.
