Repas de Corps - A Satirical Feast of Animal Anthropomorphism
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the "Les Metamorphoses du Jour" series by Grandville takes us into a whimsical world where animals and humans coexist in a satirical brotherhood. The scene unfolds at a grand table, adorned with fine silverware and elegant decor, as various creatures gather for a social occasion unlike any other. Anthropomorphic beings dominate the composition, each animal dressed in elaborate attire that mirrors human fashion. A rhinoceros dons an extravagant suit while engaging in animated conversation with a stag sporting antlers reminiscent of noble gentlemen's hats. Nearby, a goat exhibits refined manners as it engages in witty banter with its fellow diners. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident throughout this coloured engraving. From the unicorn-like bull to the horned ram seated at the table, every character exudes personality and charm. This playful satire challenges societal norms by blurring the lines between animal behavior and human society. Grandville's masterful use of anthropomorphism invites viewers to reflect on their own behaviors and question established hierarchies within society. Through his artistry, he encourages us to embrace diversity and celebrate unity among all living beings. Reprinted in 1854, this timeless piece continues to captivate audiences today with its clever commentary on human nature through an imaginative lens of animal caricature.
