EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 15th century print depicts the classic Aesop's fable of "The Fox and the Stork." Aesop, an ancient Greek storyteller, is renowned for his collection of fables that impart moral lessons through engaging animal tales. In this particular fable, a cunning fox seeks to dine on the delicacies of a stork, who has been given a roast meal. The fox, disguised as a monk, approaches the stork and asks to be allowed to eat from the beak of the stork, as monks are known to do. The trusting stork obliges, only to have the fox seize the food with his teeth and run away, leaving the stork empty-handed. This print, a testament to the enduring popularity of Aesop's fables, is a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the 15th century. The intricate details of the fox's monk's robe and the stork's elegant beak are rendered with remarkable precision. The print's muted colors and delicate shading evoke a sense of timelessness and nostalgia. The moral of the story, "do not trust the cunning," is a universal lesson that continues to resonate with audiences today. The print serves as a reminder of the rich literary heritage of Aesop's fables and the enduring power of storytelling to entertain, educate, and inspire.
