Man met geweer zit op dode leeuw 1823 - 1873

"Man met geweer zit op dode leeuw" is an 1823-1873 lithograph by Célestin Nanteuil (1813-1873). The artwork depicts a man sitting on a dead lion, holding a rifle. This scene might represent a hunter's triumph over a dangerous animal, or a metaphor for the struggle between man and nature. The detailed engraving and dramatic composition of the artwork showcase Nanteuil's mastery of the medium. The artwork is a fine example of 19th-century printmaking and is often used in educational contexts to discuss the themes of hunting, power, and the human relationship with wildlife.
