EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of a lesser-known fable by Jean de La Fontaine, titled "The Rat and the Oyster". Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The image beautifully captures the essence of this French literary masterpiece. Intriguingly, the fable explores a profound message through its depiction of two unlikely characters: a rat and an oyster. As we delve into La Fontaine's poetic storytelling, we are reminded that wisdom can be found in unexpected places. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the contrasting worlds of land and sea. We witness the rat's curiosity as it contemplates the oyster's hidden treasure within its shell. This visual representation prompts us to reflect on our own pursuit for knowledge and understanding. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to France during La Fontaine's time – a period when literature thrived as a powerful medium for social commentary. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in shaping society. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this timeless artwork with his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only La Fontaine's brilliance but also the talent and craftsmanship behind each stroke of ink on paper. Whether you are drawn to poetry or fascinated by animal symbolism, this enchanting print invites you to explore both realms simultaneously – where words intertwine with imagery
