EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving by Grandville, titled "The ingratefulness and the injustice of mean towards the fortune" depicts a thought-provoking scene from La Fontaine's Fables. The intricate details in this print transport us to a bustling street where conversations unfold between characters representing different social classes. In this visual narrative, we witness a meeting between two individuals: one rich and prosperous, the other poor and destitute. The artist skillfully captures their contrasting expressions - surprise on the face of the wealthy man and gratitude mixed with disbelief on that of his impoverished counterpart. Through this artwork, Grandville highlights society's ingratitude towards fortune. It serves as a reminder of how often people fail to appreciate or acknowledge the opportunities bestowed upon them while simultaneously perpetuating injustices against those less fortunate. The costumes worn by these characters provide further insight into their respective roles in society. This print not only showcases exceptional artistic talent but also reflects upon timeless themes such as wealth disparity, human interaction, and societal norms. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Jean Duvallon's private collection, we are reminded of our own attitudes towards fortune and how they shape our interactions with others. It encourages us to reflect on our own actions and consider whether we are truly grateful for what life has given us or if we contribute to the injustice faced by those less fortunate than ourselves.
