EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the fable of "The Cobbler and the Financier" by Jean de La Fontaine. Illustrated by Albert Robida, this engraving beautifully depicts a rich man graciously giving a money purse to a poor man. The scene is filled with emotion, as the expressions on both men's faces convey happiness, joy, and gratitude. Set in early 20th century France, this artwork showcases the stark contrast between wealth and poverty in society. The rich man is depicted wearing fine attire while holding out his generous donation, symbolizing his abundance and prosperity. In contrast, the poor man is dressed in humble clothing with an apron signifying his occupation as a shoemaker. Robida's attention to detail brings this fable to life through intricate line work and careful composition. Each element within the illustration tells its own story - from the coin purse representing financial assistance to the hairpiece denoting social status. "The Cobbler and the Financier" serves as a reminder of generosity amidst disparity and highlights how acts of kindness can bring immense joy to those less fortunate. This timeless piece of art not only reflects upon societal issues but also evokes feelings of cheerfulness and bliss for viewers across generations. Photo © Patrice Cartier via Fine Art Finder
