EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching by Allart van Everdingen, we are transported into the enchanting world of Reynard the Fox. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in the tale, as Reynard cunningly promises gifts to the mighty Lion. The intricate details and masterful technique employed by van Everdingen bring each character to life. We see Reynard, with his sly smile and mischievous eyes, standing before the regal Lion who exudes power and authority. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to their expressions, hinting at the underlying tension between these two central figures. Reynard's promise of gifts is evident through various objects scattered around them - a bag overflowing with treasure, an ornate crown symbolizing royalty, and a beautifully crafted sword representing strength. These offerings serve as both temptation for the Lion and evidence of Reynard's manipulative nature. This print not only showcases van Everdingen's artistic prowess but also highlights themes prevalent in folklore such as deceit, wit, and power dynamics. It invites viewers to delve into this timeless story that has captivated audiences for centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Heritage Art/Heritage Images collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art in Netherlands, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative allure. It serves as a testament to our fascination with tales that explore human nature through animal characters while reminding us of our own capacity for both virtue and vice.
