EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Instinct stronger than training" is an illustration from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, Little Dorrit. Created by the talented artist Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), this lithograph was first published in 1857 and continues to captivate audiences with its powerful imagery. The scene depicted in the print takes us into a life drawing class where an artist stands at his easel, engrossed in his work. However, what steals the spotlight is a small dog that has unexpectedly attacked him. The shock on both their faces is palpable as the canine's instinct overpowers any training it may have received. The intensity of this moment is beautifully captured through Phiz's intricate lines and shading techniques. Every stroke seems to convey not only the physical struggle between man and beast but also the emotional turmoil they experience. This image transports us back to Victorian England, evoking a sense of surprise and chaos within its Dickensian setting. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our carefully constructed lives and societal expectations, our primal instincts can still emerge unexpectedly. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are reminded of how art has the power to capture fleeting moments like these – moments that reveal truths about human nature while simultaneously entertaining us with their dramatic flair.
