More about this artwork

"Man Running From Elephants" is a captivating piece by celebrated American artist Peter Newell, painted in 1901. This painting presents a dramatic scene filled with movement and urgency. In the foreground, a man, dressed in traditional early 20th-century attire, is caught mid-stride. His expression, a mix of surprise and alarm, draws the viewer into the tension of the moment.Behind him, a group of elephants charge forward with a formidable presence. Newell's use of soft brushstrokes and muted greens and grays in the background contrasts sharply with the more detailed and dynamically posed figure of the man, emphasizing the panic and speed of his escape. The composition cleverly balances a sense of imminent danger with a touch of humor, typical of Newell's approach to storytelling through his art.This painting not only showcases Newell's skill in illustrating human and animal figures but also his ability to evoke a narrative that resonates with viewers, making them ponder the moments leading up to and following the scene depicted.
