EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a defining moment in the world of boxing. Titled "Caught him with both arms round the waist, and threw him on the stage" this image showcases a bare-knuckle boxing match from the late 19th or early 20th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is Pugnis, whose attention to detail brings every aspect of this intense fight to life. In the center of the composition, we witness two powerful fighters engaged in combat. With his opponent's waist firmly grasped by both arms, one boxer exerts tremendous strength as he lifts his adversary off his feet and prepares to throw him onto the stage. The determination etched on their faces reflects their unwavering spirit and commitment to victory. The crowd surrounding them adds an electric atmosphere to this scene. Spectators eagerly watch these warriors clash, drawn by their display of skill, resilience, and raw power. Their presence emphasizes that boxing is not merely a sport but also a spectator experience that captivates people from all walks of life. Pugnis masterfully employs color in this print to enhance its impact further. While most elements are depicted in shades of gray, selective coloring draws attention to key details such as muscular physiques and facial expressions. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to human strength, endurance, and passion for competition throughout history. It reminds us why boxing has remained an enduring spectacle loved by millions worldwide.
