EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of the classic fable "Les deux chevres" by Jean de la Fontaine, beautifully illustrated by Gustave Dore. The scene depicts two goats standing on opposite sides of a rushing stream in a lush forest setting.
The intricate details in Dore's engraving bring to life the tension and rivalry between the two animals as they face off against each other. The flowing river symbolizes the divide between them, highlighting their stubbornness and determination to prove themselves superior.
As one goat prepares to leap across the stream, determined to outdo its rival, the other stands firm on its side, ready for whatever challenge may come its way. The contrast between their postures perfectly captures the essence of competition and conflict portrayed in this timeless fable.
Dore's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to the scene, drawing viewers into this moment frozen in time. This print is not just a visual masterpiece but also a thought-provoking reflection on human nature and moral lessons that transcend time and culture.
Overall, this print is a true work of art that pays homage to both La Fontaine's storytelling genius and Dore's artistic talent. It serves as a reminder of the power of literature and illustration to inspire imagination and provoke contemplation.
