EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving by Grandville, titled "Philomele & Progne - Fables by La Fontaine" is a visual masterpiece that transports viewers into the enchanting world of French literature. The print showcases the mythical characters Philomele and Progne, accompanied by an array of symbolic elements that add depth to the composition. The central figures, beautifully depicted with intricate details, are surrounded by a lush landscape featuring a cityscape in the background. Philomele holds a lyre while Progne stands beside her, both emanating an air of grace and elegance. Their intertwined bodies symbolize their unbreakable bond as sisters. The presence of birds throughout the artwork further enhances its ethereal quality. A bird perched on Philomele's hand represents freedom and liberation from oppression, while another bird soaring above them signifies hope and resilience. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds dimension to each element within the scene. The delicate engravings bring out every nuance in facial expressions, emphasizing emotions conveyed through body language. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables but also of the power art possesses to transcend time and space. This print serves as a testament to human creativity and imagination—a window into centuries past that continues to captivate our hearts today.
