The Fables of Aesop - The Cock and the Fox
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph print by Henry Louis Stephens that beautifully captures an iconic moment from one of Aesop's timeless fables. In this enchanting scene, we witness a rooster bravely perched atop a school building, surrounded by other birds, as he imparts his wisdom to them. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature, as the sea glistens in the background. It serves as a reminder of the profound lessons embedded within Aesop's fables - stories that have been passed down through generations and continue to resonate today. The juxtaposition between the confident rooster and cunning fox adds depth to this composition. The fox, represented here as a vixen, lurks below with an air of mischief about her. This visual narrative reminds us to be cautious and discerning when faced with sly characters who may try to deceive us. Stephens' masterful use of black-and-white lithography enhances the overall impact of this artwork. Each stroke contributes to its ethereal quality while emphasizing both light and shadow. This print not only celebrates literature but also showcases the power of art in bringing stories to life. It invites viewers into Aesop's world where animals become teachers and their actions serve as allegories for human behavior. "The Fables of Aesop: The Cock and the Fox" is truly an exquisite piece that transports us back in time while reminding
