EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fables de La Fontaine: the wolf became shepherd" transports us to the enchanting world of French literature and poetry. The image, created in Epinal during the first half of the 19th century, showcases a remarkable piece of artwork by Stefano Bianchetti. In this scene, we witness a profound transformation as a cunning wolf assumes the role of a gentle shepherd. Inspired by Jean de La Fontaine's fables, this depiction embodies the timeless themes found within his renowned works. Through intricate engraving techniques, Bianchetti brings to life an extraordinary moment where animals take on human qualities. The composition captures our imagination with its delicate details and evocative storytelling. A lone wolf stands amidst a flock of sheep, tending to them with care and tenderness. This juxtaposition between predator and protector challenges our perceptions and reminds us that appearances can be deceiving. As we delve into this masterpiece, we are reminded of La Fontaine's ability to weave moral lessons into his tales through animal characters. The image invites us to reflect upon our own nature as humans while contemplating themes such as trust, redemption, and personal growth. With its rich history and artistic brilliance, this print serves as both an homage to French literature and an exquisite addition to any art collection. It is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling that transcends time and captivates generations with its universal truths.
