EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving titled "Medor, the faithful dog of the Louvre, c. 1831" depicts a heartwrenching story of loyalty and devotion. In the midst of the 1830 revolution in Paris, Medor's master tragically lost his life and was laid to rest near the iconic Louvre museum. The grief-stricken spaniel refused to leave his deceased owner's side, becoming an emblematic symbol of trust and mourning. In this poignant image, Medor is portrayed with a somber expression as he gazes into the distance, seemingly still longing for his departed companion. The artist skillfully captures the essence of sadness and fidelity through delicate strokes that bring out every nuance in Medor's fur. The significance behind this engraving lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical context. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that events such as revolutions can have on both humans and animals alike. Medor's unwavering loyalty resonates deeply with viewers, evoking empathy for his plight. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France, this print continues to captivate audiences centuries later. It stands as a testament to love beyond death and reminds us all of the enduring bond between humans and their beloved pets - one that transcends time itself.
