EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of one of La Fontaine's timeless fables, "The Sun and the Frogs," beautifully illustrated by Grandville in the Edition Garnier 1860. The intricate details and anthropomorphic qualities of the frogs bring this classic tale to life, as they interact with the powerful sun in a whimsical and enchanting way.
Jean de La Fontaine's fables have been cherished for centuries for their moral lessons and clever storytelling, making them a beloved part of French literature. In this particular illustration, Grandville's skillful engraving work truly shines through, showcasing his talent for bringing characters to life on the page.
As we gaze upon this black and white masterpiece, we are transported back in time to a world where animals speak and teach us valuable lessons about life. The frogs' expressions convey both fear and awe as they encounter the mighty sun, reminding us of our own insignificance in comparison to nature's grandeur.
This print is not just a piece of art; it is a window into a world where imagination knows no bounds and where even the smallest creatures can hold great wisdom. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it takes looking at things from a different perspective to truly appreciate their beauty and significance.
