EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Eagles attacking a flock of sheep in Brittany" captures a dramatic moment in the French countryside. Taken by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases the raw power and intensity of nature's predators. In this scene, we witness a group of majestic eagles swooping down upon a vulnerable flock of sheep. The birds' sharp talons and piercing gaze reveal their predatory instincts as they launch their attack. The courageous shepherd stands his ground, armed with only a walking stick or cane, attempting to protect his precious livestock from these formidable creatures. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Brittany's rolling hills and lush green fields, this artwork highlights both the beauty and harsh realities of rural life. It serves as a reminder that even amidst serene landscapes, danger can lurk just around the corner. The image evokes feelings of tension and vulnerability while showcasing the resilience and determination of those who work tirelessly to safeguard their livelihoods. It also offers insight into traditional farming practices prevalent in France during that era. This thought-provoking photograph is part of a private collection but has gained recognition through its publication in Le Petit Journal on January 31st, 1909. Its inclusion in Look and Learn further solidifies its significance within art history.
