EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The lion killed by the man (Le lion abattu par l'homme)" from Fables by La Fontaine, a renowned collection of fables written in the 19th century. The engraving, created by Grandville (Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard), is an exquisite piece of art that captures the essence of this powerful story. In this scene, we see an anthropomorphized lion lying lifeless on the ground while a man stands triumphantly nearby. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, as he skillfully portrays the emotions and dynamics between these two characters. The image evokes a sense of awe and wonder as we contemplate the themes explored in La Fontaine's fable. It prompts us to reflect on humanity's relationship with nature and our capacity for both compassion and cruelty. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. The palette of paints displayed alongside the artist signifies their role in bringing this tale to life through their creative expression. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Jean de la Fontaine's mastery as a storyteller and his ability to convey profound moral lessons through animal allegories. This particular fable serves as a poignant reminder that power can be both destructive and transformative when placed in human hands. Overall, this print invites us into a world where animals speak volumes about our own human nature—a testament to art's timeless ability to provoke
