EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine" takes us into the regal world of the animal kingdom. The majestic lion, known as the king of animals, commands attention as he stands surrounded by his court. Each member of this diverse assembly represents a different species and brings their unique qualities to this royal gathering. The peacock displays its vibrant plumage, while the wise owl gazes on with its piercing eyes. The wolf exudes an air of strength and cunning, contrasting with the mischievous monkey swinging from a branch above. The tiger and panther embody grace and power, while the sly fox observes everything with keen interest. A bear looms in the background, symbolizing both strength and protection. Even smaller creatures find their place in this grand tableau: a rat scurries near the lion's feet, a rooster proudly struts beside him. All these animals come together under one ruler, forming an intriguing juxtaposition of predator and prey. Illustrated by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899, this engraving captures not only the beauty but also the complexity of nature's hierarchy. It is a testament to La Fontaine's fables that continue to inspire artists like Billinghurst even centuries later. Stefano Bianchetti's print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail within this composition – from each animal's distinctive features to their expressions conveying loyalty or curiosity. This black-and-white artwork transports us back in time while reminding us that even among wild beasts, there can be harmony within diversity.
