EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from Gustave Flaubert's renowned novel, "Un coeur simple". The illustration depicts the servant Felicite fearlessly confronting a raging bull in the picturesque countryside of Normandy. Engraved by Eugene Andre Champollion and photographed by Louis Emile Adan, this image beautifully portrays the intensity of the encounter between human and beast. Felicite, portrayed as a strong-willed housemaid, stands her ground against the charging bull with unwavering determination. In this gripping scene, danger looms as she protects Madame Aubain's son and daughter from harm. The clash between Felicite and the bull symbolizes not only physical conflict but also an internal battle against adversity. The artist skillfully captures every detail of this dramatic confrontation - from Felicite's resolute expression to the sheer force emanating from both figures. As they confront each other head-on in this fight for survival, their struggle becomes emblematic of life's challenges that we must bravely face. Through this evocative etching, viewers are transported into Flaubert's world where courage meets vulnerability. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of great peril, ordinary individuals can summon extraordinary strength to protect those they care about most. This timeless artwork is housed at Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve in Paris and continues to inspire audiences with its depiction of bravery amidst chaos.
