EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "The wolf and the shepherds (Le loup et les bergers)" from the famous Fables by La Fontaine. Created in the 19th century by Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, also known as Grandville, this artwork is a true masterpiece of anthropomorphism. In this scene, we witness a group of shepherds gathered around a table, enjoying their meal. However, lurking among them is a cunning wolf dressed in human clothing. The juxtaposition of these two worlds creates an intriguing narrative that explores themes of deception and danger. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable. Each character's costume and expression are meticulously rendered, bringing them to life on the page. From the shepherd's hats to the wolf's menacing gaze, every element contributes to the overall atmosphere of suspense. This piece not only highlights Grandville's exceptional artistic skill but also pays homage to Jean de La Fontaine's timeless literary work. La Fontaine was renowned for his fables that used animals as allegorical figures to convey moral lessons. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to experience both artistry and storytelling at its finest. It serves as a reminder of how visual imagery can enhance our understanding and appreciation of literature while leaving us captivated by its beauty.
