EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an anonymous illustration for Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fable, "The Fox and the Crow". The image takes us back to Pont-a-Mousson in the late 19th century, immersing us in a world of anthropomorphism and literary charm. In this scene, we witness a cunning fox engaging with a proud crow perched upon a branch. The artist skillfully captures the essence of each character, bringing them to life through their expressive features and gestures. The fox exudes slyness as it gazes up at the crow, while the bird proudly holds its prize - a piece of cheese - high above its head. As viewers, we are drawn into this moment frozen in time. We can almost imagine ourselves witnessing this classic tale unfold before our eyes. It is as if we have been transported to France during La Fontaine's era, where his fables were beloved by readers young and old. This artwork serves as a testament to La Fontaine's enduring legacy and his ability to infuse animals with human qualities that resonate deeply within us all. Through this visual interpretation by Stefano Bianchetti, we are reminded of the power of storytelling and how it continues to captivate our imaginations across generations. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this print invites us to reflect on timeless themes such as wit versus vanity and the consequences of falling prey to flattery. It stands not only as an exquisite piece of art but also as a tribute to
