Montefiore
Pierre-Henry Gomont explores family legacy and horse racing in his latest graphic novel, Montefiore. The story follows two brothers navigating a complex family history while training in Italy.
The narrative alternates between the brothers' experiences in competitive horse racing and their father's painful childhood. Gomont uses an expressive art style to capture the intensity of the Mediterranean setting and the emotional growth of the protagonists. This intimate one-shot examines how the next generation confronts the burdens of their ancestors. It is a poignant and luminous work that balances personal history with the harsh realities of the equestrian world.
