EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Leonard Gaultier, we are transported to the world of Dante as he contemplates Aesop's fables. The scene is rich with symbolism and intellectual depth, inviting us to delve into the profound musings of these two great minds. Dante, known for his epic poem "The Divine Comedy" sits in deep contemplation amidst a collection of Aesop's fables. His furrowed brow and intense gaze reveal a man absorbed in thought, perhaps drawing inspiration from the timeless wisdom contained within these ancient tales. Gaultier's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of the composition to life. From Dante's flowing robes to the intricate engravings on each page of Aesop's book, we can almost feel the weight of history and knowledge that surrounds them. This print is taken from Blaise de Vigenare's work "Les Images Ou Tableaux De Platte Peinture Des Deux Philostrates Sophistes Grecs" published in Paris in 1615. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence and fascination that both Dante and Aesop continue to hold over centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of our own capacity for introspection and enlightenment through literature. It encourages us not only to appreciate their contributions but also prompts us to reflect on our own interpretations of life's moral lessons – just as Dante himself did while immersed in Aesop’s fables so many years ago
