EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "Chien qui aboie ne mord pas" showcases the wisdom of nations through a charming depiction of a dog. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, is part of a private collection. The phrase "Chien qui aboie ne mord pas" translates to "A barking dog does not bite". This well-known saying suggests that those who make the most noise often have little substance behind their words. In this illustration, we see a collie dog standing proudly as it barks, symbolizing its role as a guard dog. However, despite its fierce appearance and vocalization, the message conveyed is one of wisdom rather than aggression. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the skill and talent of the artist. The use of black and white adds depth to the image while emphasizing its timeless quality. Through this artwork, we are reminded that appearances can be deceiving and that true wisdom lies in actions rather than mere words. "Chien qui aboie ne mord pas" serves as a reminder to approach situations with discernment and not be swayed by empty bravado. It invites us to reflect on our own behavior and consider whether our actions align with our intentions. This enchanting print continues to captivate viewers even after centuries since its creation, showcasing both artistic mastery and enduring philosophical insight into human nature.
