Beschreibung

The print titled "VAN AMBURGH AND THE LIONS" is an intricate steel engraving created in 1879, based on an original work by the renowned British artist Sir Edwin Landseer. The engraving was executed by ALAIS. The image depicts a dramatic scene inside a cage where a lion tamer, Isaac A. Van Amburgh, stands confidently among several large felines, including lions, a tiger, and a leopard. Van Amburgh is shown commanding the animals with a stern expression and a pointed gesture, illustrating his famed ability to control these wild beasts. The engraving captures the tension and spectacle of Van Amburgh's performances, which were popular in the 19th century. The detailed rendering of the animals and the tamer highlights the skill of both Landseer and the engraver ALAIS, showcasing their mastery in capturing the drama and realism of the scene. Sir Edwin Landseer was known for his animal paintings, particularly his depictions of lions, which added a layer of authenticity and artistry to this engraving.
