EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving on ivory laid paper, titled "Lion, Dragon, and Fox" by Jean de Gourmont, dates back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the rich world of mythology and folklore prevalent during that era. The image features three mythical creatures: a regal lion, a menacing dragon, and a cunning fox. The lion, a symbol of power and courage, is shown in the center, while the dragon, a creature of fear and destruction, is poised to attack from the left. The fox, a symbol of wit and cleverness, is seen sneaking up on the dragon from behind. Jean de Gourmont, a French artist, expertly captured the intricate details of these creatures, their expressions, and their body language, making this engraving a masterpiece of 16th-century art. The black and white contrast adds to the dramatic effect, highlighting the textures and contours of the animals. This artwork is a testament to the European artistic heritage and the fascination with mythical beasts that transcended continents and cultures. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to ignite our imagination. The "Lion, Dragon, and Fox" engraving is a prized possession of the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art museum and cultural institution. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, mythology, or the natural world. This masterpiece is a reminder of the enduring appeal of mythical creatures and the power of art to capture the imagination and inspire wonder.
