EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Doré, captures a dramatic moment in "The Two Fowls". In this 19th-century-style allegory painting, two men engage in a fierce brawl over the love of a woman. The black and white engraved image showcases their conflict as they brandish daggers with intense determination. With its intricate details and masterful woodcut technique, this print transports us to an era of nostalgia and old-fashioned storytelling. It evokes the essence of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fairy tales while shedding light on social issues such as violence and rivalry. Gustave Doré's artistry shines through his depiction of these hooligans locked in combat. Their fighting stances reveal their physical prowess and desperation to win the affection of the woman standing nearby. As we observe this scene unfold within the backdrop of a grand fountain, it becomes clear that love can ignite conflicts even among friends. This antique print serves as a reminder of our history and how literature has always reflected societal tensions. Its retro revival style adds an air of sophistication to any art collection or space where it is displayed. Let yourself be captivated by this image created during the 19th century – an enduring testament to human emotions and passions that transcend time itself.
