EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "L'ane et le chien (The Donkey and the Dog), published 1756" by Michel Aubert takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century France. This hand-colored etching, created by the talented artist Jean Baptiste Oudry, showcases a charming scene that captures both the beauty of nature and the unique bond between animals. In this artwork, we witness a peaceful countryside setting with a picturesque bridge in the background. A donkey, symbolizing hard work and resilience as a beast of burden, peacefully rests while an adorable dog stands guard beside him. The contrasting colors beautifully highlight their individual characteristics - warm tones for the donkey's fur and cool hues for the dog's coat. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes evident that there is more than meets the eye. The dog's protective stance suggests an underlying narrative - perhaps he senses danger lurking nearby? Is he guarding his companion against potential attackers or even wild wolves? Michel Aubert skillfully captures this moment frozen in time through intricate details and masterful use of color. It invites viewers to contemplate not only on man's relationship with animals but also on themes such as loyalty, companionship, and protection. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Aubert's artistic prowess and Oudry's ability to bring life to his subjects through his brushstrokes. It reminds us that art has no boundaries
