EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The pussy changed into a woman (La chatte metamorphosee en femme)" from the Fables by La Fontaine, a renowned 19th-century engraving by Grandville. The artwork, part of a private collection, depicts an intriguing transformation that takes place within the realm of French literature. Created by Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, also known as Grandville, this illustration is reported on wood by Auguste Desperet and engraved by Franz Robert Richard Brend Amour. The level of detail and skill in this piece is truly remarkable. In the image, we see a cat undergoing a magical metamorphosis into a woman. The scene is set in an elegantly furnished bedroom with soft lighting provided by candles. A mouse scurries across the floor while the transformed woman gazes at her reflection in what appears to be a mirror or vanity table. The artist's mastery shines through in capturing not only the physical changes but also conveying emotions through facial expressions. This enchanting artwork invites viewers to contemplate themes of transformation and identity found within La Fontaine's fables. Jean Duvallon expertly captures this historic piece through his photography skills, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we admire this print, we are transported back to 19th-century France and reminded of the power of art to captivate our imagination and evoke deep emotions.
