EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "La Lionne et l Ourse - The Lioness and the Bear" from the renowned collection "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine". Created by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899, this black and white artwork beautifully illustrates a fable that has captivated audiences for centuries. In this enchanting scene, we witness a lioness and a bear engaged in a poignant moment. The lioness, with her majestic tawny mane, stands tall as she gazes mournfully at the bear. Both animals seem to be immersed in deep contemplation, evoking emotions of sadness and longing. The intricate details of this engraving highlight the skillful artistry of Billinghurst. Every stroke brings life to these wild creatures, capturing their essence with remarkable precision. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its dramatic impact. As we delve into this fable's narrative, we are reminded of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless poetry that explores human nature through animal characters. This particular story speaks volumes about friendship, loss, and empathy. Through Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are transported back to 17th-century France where literature thrived alongside exquisite artworks like this one. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and visual expression throughout history. Whether displayed on gallery walls or cherished within private collections, this masterpiece continues to inspire awe and appreciation for both fine art enthusiasts and lovers of French literature alike.
