EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Animals sick of the Plague" showcases a remarkable illustration by Gustave Dore, depicting one of Jean de La Fontaine's famous fables. The artwork transports us to a world where animals are plagued by an epidemic, reflecting the timeless themes of disease and its impact on society. Gustave Dore's intricate engraving skillfully captures the essence of this fable, showcasing his mastery in bringing literature to life through visual art. The attention to detail is evident as each animal is depicted with expressions of sickness and despair, highlighting their collective struggle against the contagion. The image serves as a reminder that epidemics have long been part of human history, with illness affecting not only humans but also our fellow creatures. It invites contemplation on the fragility of health and the importance of medicine in combating such crises. As we admire this piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are reminded not only of La Fontaine's literary genius but also Gustave Dore's artistic brilliance. This artwork stands as a testament to their enduring legacy and continues to captivate viewers with its profound portrayal of sickness within nature. Through this powerful composition, we are encouraged to reflect on our own experiences with illness while appreciating the beauty that can be found even amidst times of great adversity.
