The Lion's Court - Fables by La Fontaine - A Captivating Glimpse into the Animal Kingdom of 19th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures a mesmerizing engraving from the 19th century, depicting "The Lion's Court" from Jean de La Fontaine's famous fables. Created by Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard), this artwork showcases his exceptional talent for anthropomorphism and attention to detail. In this enchanting scene, we witness a gathering of regal animals adorned in elaborate costumes and crowns. Amidst the majestic lion, we spot a skull and skeleton, symbolizing illness and death that lurk even within royalty. The atmosphere is tinged with an air of coldness as these wild creatures navigate their own version of European courtly life. Each character tells its own story – a sickly bird clutching a handkerchief, a wise bear observing attentively, vixen foxes engaging in conversation, and mischievous monkeys adding charm to the scene. Above them all soars a vulture-like bird of prey saluting with solemnity. Through this intricate engraving, we are transported into La Fontaine's literary world where animals take on human qualities while still embodying their natural instincts. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an allegorical representation of human society. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this black-and-white print allows us to appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship that went into creating such captivating illustrations centuries ago.
