EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing encounter between a majestic Tiger and a formidable Crocodile. Engraved by the talented Charles Turner, this masterpiece is brought to life through his intricate mezzotint technique. Published by James Daniell & Co in 1799, this artwork has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers with its raw intensity. The artist, James Northcote, skillfully captures the essence of both creatures in this composition. The Tiger exudes power and grace as it locks eyes with its reptilian adversary. Its striped fur glistens under the sunlight, while every muscle seems ready for action. On the other hand, the Crocodile lurks beneath murky waters, showcasing its ancient armor-like scales and menacing jaws. This print transports us to an exotic Indian landscape where these two apex predators coexist in a delicate balance of power and survival. It serves as a reminder of nature's awe-inspiring diversity and beauty. Displayed proudly in a private collection today, this engraving evokes curiosity about our planet's rich wildlife heritage. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures from extinction. Bridgeman Images allows us access to this remarkable piece of art history that not only celebrates nature but also highlights human creativity at its finest.
