EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting illustration of "The lion, the wolf and the fox (le lion, le loup et le renard)" from Fables by La Fontaine. Created in the 19th century by Grandville, this engraving is a true masterpiece that transports us into a world where animals possess human-like qualities. In this scene, we witness a public assembly of various creatures including a donkey, an ostrich, and a stork. The anthropomorphism depicted here adds depth to the artwork as it explores themes of unity and diversity within society. The regal presence of the lion symbolizes strength and power while the cunning fox represents wit and intelligence. Alongside them stands the wise wolf who exudes authority but also carries an air of vulnerability due to illness. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every stroke on wood by Auguste Desperet has been meticulously engraved by Franz Robert Richard Brend Amour. This collaboration between talented artists brings forth not only visual beauty but also captures the essence of Jean de La Fontaine's literary work. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image captured by eDuvallon, we are reminded of La Fontaine's timeless fables that continue to captivate readers even centuries later. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and language barriers while leaving an indelible mark on our collective imagination.
