EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the iconic scene from Aesop's ancient fable, "The Bull and the Gnat." First published in 1761 by John Dodsley in his collection of fables, this timeless tale continues to intrigue and inspire audiences of all ages. In the image, a mighty bull, its powerful form exuding strength and majesty, is shown with a tiny gnat perched nonchalantly on one of its horns. The gnat, with its minuscule size and insignificant presence, appears oblivious to the towering behemoth it has chosen as its temporary resting place. The bull, seemingly unaware of the gnat's presence, responds to the insect's inquiry about whether it should go with an indifferent shrug. The bull's words, "I had not known you were there, and I shall not miss you when you are gone," encapsulate the essence of the fable's moral. The Bull and the Gnat serves as a poignant reminder that even the most insignificant beings can go unnoticed by those who are preoccupied with their own concerns. It also highlights the importance of acknowledging and appreciating the presence of others, no matter how seemingly insignificant they may appear. This historical print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, offers a glimpse into the past while conveying a timeless message that continues to resonate with us today. Its beautiful design and thought-provoking narrative make it a cherished addition to any collection of fables or works of art.
