EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Gustave Dore that transports us into a world of fables and imagination. This nineteenth-century engraving, created for Jean de la Fontaine's Fables, showcases Dore's exceptional artistic skill and his contribution to the romanticism movement. In this enchanting scene, rats gather in a grand hall, engaged in an important council meeting. The intricate details of their expressions and postures reveal their intensity as they discuss matters of great significance. Dore's masterful use of color engraving brings life to each rat, highlighting their individuality while maintaining a cohesive composition. The illustrative technique employed by Antoine Valerie Bertrand adds depth and texture to the print, enhancing its visual impact. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported back to the Victorian era when such engravings were highly sought after for their artistic value. With its retro-styled charm and vintage appeal, "The Council Held by the Rats" captures our attention and invites us into a world where animals take on human qualities. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transcend time and transport us into realms beyond our own reality. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate Gustave Dore's genius as an artist while immersing ourselves in the rich history and culture of nineteenth-century art.
