EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a timeless tale - "The Horse and Stag". In this 19th-century style print, we witness the horse's desire for revenge against the stag. The image depicts a powerful stallion bucking and rearing up in an allegorical representation of blood sport. Gustave Dore's intricate woodcut technique brings to life this scene from literature. The black and white illustration exudes nostalgia, taking us back to a bygone era filled with history and old-fashioned charm. As we delve into the artwork, we are transported to a world where hunting was not only an agricultural occupation but also an animal sport enjoyed by many. The stag stands tall as its male counterpart seeks vengeance upon it. This depiction showcases both animal behavior and attributes within a fine art painting. The print evokes feelings of admiration for nature's majestic creatures while simultaneously highlighting man's primal instincts. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern society, echoes of past traditions can still be found. Duncan1890 has skillfully captured this momentous piece of artistry through his lens at Fine Art Storehouse. This print is not just an image created in the 19th century; it is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through visual mediums like painting and illustration.
