EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a satirical drawing from the 19th century, titled "Alexander the Great granted by animals, Fable de La Fontaine". Created by Emile Joseph Alexandre Gouget in 1834, this design showcases his artistic brilliance. The image depicts Alexander the Great, one of history's most renowned figures, being bestowed with gifts and blessings from various animals. The composition is rich in symbolism and satire, reflecting Gouget's scathing commentary on society. Through this whimsical portrayal, he cleverly highlights both the power and vulnerability of great leaders like Alexander. The engraving technique adds depth to every intricate detail of this masterpiece. Gouget draws inspiration from Jean de La Fontaine's fables, which were immensely popular during the 17th century. These timeless poems explore human nature through animal characters and moral lessons. By incorporating elements from antiquity into his work, Gouget pays homage to classical influences while infusing it with his own unique style. This print beautifully preserves Gouget's exceptional talent for storytelling through art. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to captivate audiences with its ability to provoke thought and evoke emotions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece created by Jaime Abecasis' lens, we are transported back in time to an era where imagination knew no bounds and creativity reigned supreme.
