EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, specifically to the year 1804. It is an illustration of the fable "La zorra y la cigüeña" (The Fox and the Stork) by Felix Maria de Samaniego, engraved by Jose Asensio. The delicate lines and intricate details showcase the talent of these renowned artists. The scene depicted in this engraving transports us into a world of animals with human-like qualities. We witness a cunning fox sitting at a table, eagerly awaiting his meal. On the other side stands a graceful stork holding a long-necked pitcher filled with delicious food. However, there is an inherent problem - while the fox can easily lap up his meal from a shallow dish, it becomes impossible for the stork to access her nourishment due to her beak's structure. This timeless fable teaches us about fairness and empathy as we observe how different creatures have different needs. Through their expressive eyes and body language, both characters convey their emotions vividly. Preserved within the Library of Catalonia's collection, this historical artwork reminds us of Spain's rich literary heritage. Its vertical composition adds elegance to any space it graces. Whether displayed in Barcelona or beyond its borders, this print invites viewers to reflect on moral lessons that transcend time and place.
