EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving from the 19th century, depicting "The fox, the donkey and the animals" fable by La Fontaine. Created by Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard), this artwork is an exquisite example of anthropomorphism in literature. The intricate details and skillful execution of this engraving truly bring the story to life. In this enchanting scene, we see a diverse array of animals gathered together, including snakes, a rhinoceros, a dog, and even an ostrich. Each creature is depicted with human-like characteristics, wearing crowns and assuming various roles as spectators or participants in the narrative. The presence of mythical creatures such as dragons adds an element of fantasy to the composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this work. From the delicate engravings on each animal's body to the carefully rendered expressions on their faces, it is clear that Grandville poured his heart into creating this masterpiece. This print captures not only the beauty but also the historical significance of French literature through art. It serves as a testament to La Fontaine's enduring legacy and reminds us of our connection with nature and its timeless lessons. Displayed proudly in any collection or space, this print invites viewers into a world where imagination meets reality—a world where animals become characters with stories worth telling.
