EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1908, titled "Who rubs it, stings it" depicts a young boy's misadventure with bees as he attempts to satisfy his craving for honey. The artwork, created by Bigot-Valentin, measures 24.5x20.5 cm and is part of the Alphabet des recreations series by Marie de Grandmaison. In this scene, we witness the consequences of the boy's gluttony and impulsive actions. Eager to taste the sweet nectar of a beehive, he finds himself chased away by an angry swarm of bees. The artist skillfully captures the child's fear and anguish as he flees from his buzzing tormentors. The image serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of indulgence and disobedience in childhood. It also alludes to capital sins such as greed and recklessness that can lead one into trouble. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this chromolithograph transports us back to early 20th-century youth culture while highlighting universal themes of consequence and punishment. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable print from their collection in partnership with Fine Art Finder. This photograph offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our own youthful escapades while appreciating the artistry behind this timeless piece.
