A characteristic late lithograph by Max Ernst, Scarabée distils the artist’s lifelong fascination with the natural world and its hidden mythologies into a single beetle. The scarab — an emblem of metamorphosis and solar rebirth since antiquity — belongs to the same surrealist bestiary Ernst had explored since the frottages of Histoire Naturelle (1926). Printed three years before his death.
