Popular in medieval Europe, bestiaries were catalogs of beasts featuring
exotic animal illustrations, zoological wisdom, and ancient legends. Denis
Côté’s startling Bestiaire unfolds like a filmic picture book where both humans and animals are on display. Creatures like buffalo, hyenas, zookeepers, zebras, taxidermists, rhinos, and ostriches silently inhabit uncluttered, beautifully composed frames.
