EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes in 1778, transports us back to the classical era of storytelling. Depicting Aesop, the renowned author of moralizing tales known as Aesop's fables, this etching captures the essence of wisdom and knowledge. Goya's masterful technique brings out every intricate detail in this portrayal of Aesop. The aged figure stands tall and dignified, his weathered face reflecting a lifetime of experience. Clutching a book tightly against his chest, he holds the key to countless stories that have captivated audiences for centuries. The artist pays homage to Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez's original painting from c. 1639-40 which now graces the walls of Prado Museum in Madrid. Goya skillfully recreates Velazquez's composition while adding his own unique touch through delicate etching lines. In this scene, we find Aesop standing beside a large tub - perhaps symbolizing cleansing or purification - emphasizing not only physical cleanliness but also moral purity. It serves as a reminder that true wisdom lies not only in knowledge but also in leading an honorable life. This remarkable print is more than just an artistic representation; it is an invitation to delve into timeless tales filled with valuable lessons for all ages. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that even after centuries have passed since their creation, Aesop's fables continue to inspire and guide us
