EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of loyalty and devotion in the form of Medor, the faithful dog of the Louvre. Created by an anonymous French artist in 1831, this colour lithograph tells a heart-wrenching tale that resonates even today. During the tumultuous times of the 1830 revolution in Paris, Medor's master tragically lost his life and was laid to rest near the iconic Louvre. Unable to comprehend his owner's demise, Medor refused to leave his side, becoming a symbol of unwavering fidelity amidst chaos. In this image, we witness Medor sitting beside his deceased master's grave with mournful eyes filled with sadness and grief. The artist skillfully portrays every nuance of emotion on Medor's face as he continues to lament for his beloved companion. The tranquil water surrounding them serves as a poignant backdrop, reflecting both their shared history and the turbulent times they have endured together. This melancholic scene encapsulates not only Medor's profound loyalty but also highlights the impact that human connections can have on our furry friends. Medor's story transcends time and reminds us all of the power of unconditional love between humans and animals. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, let us honor Medor's memory while cherishing our own faithful companions who bring joy into our lives.
