EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a timeless fable, "The Rat Who Retired from the World." In this historical myth dating back to 1772, we see a rat who has grown tired of worldly cares and decides to retire to live in a cheese. As his fellow rats come to him for assistance, he politely declines, stating that he is unable to help. The image evokes a sense of tranquility as we witness the retired rat living out his days in peaceful seclusion within the cellar. The intricate details and textures in the print bring this fable to life, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its rich history and moral teachings. "The Rat Who Retired from the World" is not just a simple tale but a reflection on human nature and our own desires for escape from life's challenges.
