EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a timeless tale from the 19th century, "The Hare and the Turtle" by French School. The image is part of a collection called "Fables de La Fontaine in images of Epinal" which beautifully depicts scenes from Jean de La Fontaine's famous fables. In this particular artwork, we see the hare and the turtle engaged in their legendary race. The engraving skillfully captures the essence of each character - the hare with its swift and confident stride, while the turtle plods along steadily towards its goal. It is a visual representation of determination versus overconfidence. La Fontaine's fable teaches us an important lesson about perseverance and humility. As viewers gaze upon this piece, they are reminded that success does not always come to those who rush ahead without considering their actions or underestimating others. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured every detail in this photograph, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and narrative depth within it. This artwork serves as a testament to France's rich literary history and enduring fascination with animal symbolism. As we admire this enchanting print, let us reflect on our own lives - are we more like the hare or the turtle? And may we find inspiration in these age-old tales that continue to resonate across generations.
