EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from Fables by Jean de la Fontaine, a renowned French writer. The artwork, created by Benjamin Rabier in 1906, beautifully depicts the tale of "The lion and the gnat". In this vividly colored lithograph, we witness a powerful lion being tormented by a minuscule gnat. As the story goes, even the mightiest can be brought to their knees by something seemingly insignificant. Jean de la Fontaine dedicated over two decades of his life to crafting his own rendition of Aesop's Fables. This particular fable serves as a moral lesson for both children and adults alike. It reminds us that anger and rage can cloud our judgment and make us vulnerable to irritation. The illustration captures the intense emotions portrayed through the lion's fierce expression and its attempt to swat away the bothersome gnat. Amidst this dramatic scene, we also notice intricate details such as a spider's web delicately woven among cacti in the background. As we gaze upon this image, it transports us into a world where animals possess human-like qualities and teach valuable lessons through their tales. Through artistry and storytelling combined, this timeless piece invites contemplation on how even small irritations can provoke great fury within us all.
