1761 Deer Fable Fables Farmer Speaks Stag Myth


EDITORS COMMENTS
Fable of the Farmer and the Stag (1761) This evocative print, depicting a historic encounter between a farmer and a majestic stag, is an enduring testament to the rich tapestry of myth and folklore that has shaped human imagination for centuries. The image, created in 1761, is a visual representation of a well-known fable, which has been passed down through generations, serving as a timeless moral lesson. The scene unfolds in a pastoral setting, with the farmer, dressed in traditional attire, standing in the foreground, holding a scythe in one hand and a sack in the other. His weathered face and stooped posture speak of a life spent toiling in the fields. Behind him, the lush, green landscape stretches out, dotted with trees and rolling hills. In the background, a magnificent stag, its antlers adorned with intricate patterns, gazes intently at the farmer. Its piercing eyes seem to convey a sense of wisdom and understanding that belies its wild, untamed nature. The stag's open mouth suggests that it is speaking to the farmer, although no words are visible in the print. The fable of the Farmer and the Stag tells the story of a farmer who, having spent a long day in the fields, returns home to find a stag in his barn. Instead of killing the stag, as he initially intends, he spares its life and sets it free. In gratitude, the stag returns the favor by helping the farmer with his harvest, ensuring a bountiful yield. This print, with its intricate details and rich symbolism, invites us to reflect on the enduring power of fables and the moral lessons they impart. It serves as a reminder that kindness and compassion, even towards those who may seem threatening or unfamiliar, can lead to unexpected rewards.
