A Dramatic Escape - Lion and Lioness on the Run
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness a thrilling moment in history. A lion and a lioness, having escaped from a circus near Ghent, Belgium, have caused panic among the villagers as they roam through the frozen countryside. The tamer who attempted to whip them back into their cage has been seriously injured. The scene is set against a backdrop of darkness and snow-covered houses, creating an atmosphere of fear and danger. As the wild animals run through the village, roaring with power and determination, brave villagers take action to protect themselves by shooting at them. This illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday on March 15th, 1931. It captures the intensity of this extraordinary event that unfolded during wintertime in West Flanders. The snowy landscape adds to the drama as these majestic creatures navigate their way through unfamiliar territory. Beltrame's skillful rendering brings out every detail of these magnificent beasts - their strength evident in every muscle as they flee from captivity. This print serves as a reminder of both the awe-inspiring beauty and potential danger that exists within nature. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how humans grappled with untamed wildlife escaping into their world. It is an image that evokes both admiration for these powerful creatures and gratitude for our ability to coexist safely alongside them today.
