EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, transports us to the ancient civilization of Rome. The print captures the essence of a bygone era with its classical style and attention to detail. In this allegory painting titled "Peasant of the Danube" we witness a scene that takes place in the Roman Forum. A farm worker, representing the peasantry, stands before an imposing fountain as he engages in conversation with a senator. The image beautifully portrays the stark contrast between those who toil on the land and those who hold positions of power within governmental occupations. The artwork evokes nostalgia for a time long past, inviting us to reflect on history and literature. It serves as a reminder of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables which continue to captivate readers even centuries later. Gustave Dore's woodcut technique adds depth and texture to this intricate illustration created in the 19th century. The print showcases his mastery as an artist while paying homage to ancient Rome and its rich cultural heritage. With its Victorian-style charm, this piece would make an excellent addition to any art collection or home decor. Its old-fashioned allure invites viewers into a world where fantasy intertwines with reality, leaving them captivated by its beauty and historical significance.
