EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Lion Beaten by the Man" is a visual representation of one of Jean de La Fontaine's famous fables. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, this print captures the essence of storytelling through art. In this scene, we witness an intriguing encounter between a lion and a man. The artist skillfully portrays the lion as majestic and powerful, while the man appears small and vulnerable. It is clear that there is tension in the air as both characters face each other with intensity. This illustration serves as a reminder of La Fontaine's timeless tales that have captivated readers for centuries. Through his fables, he cleverly uses animals to convey moral lessons and human behavior. In this particular story, we can infer that even the mightiest can be humbled by those who possess intelligence and wit. Billinghurst's attention to detail brings life to each character in this lithograph. The expressions on their faces tell a story within itself - fear mixed with determination on behalf of the man, and perhaps surprise mingled with vulnerability from the lion. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into La Fontaine's world where animals teach us valuable lessons about life. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and literary genius – reminding us why these fables continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
