EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Animals Sick with the Plague" transports us to a world of fables and imagination. Created by Auguste Vimar in 1897, this coloured engraving brings to life Jean de La Fontaine's famous tale, "Les Animaux Malades de la Peste". In this enchanting scene, we find ourselves amidst a gathering of animals afflicted by the devastating plague. A lion, once known for its strength and majesty, now lies weakly on the ground. Surrounding him are various creatures - a snake slithers nearby while a donkey gazes sympathetically at his suffering companions. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; each animal is meticulously depicted with intricate engravings that capture their unique characteristics. From the towering presence of an elephant to the graceful flight of birds overhead, every creature tells its own story within this larger narrative. Through this artwork, Vimar not only showcases his artistic talent but also reminds us of our vulnerability as living beings. The plague serves as a metaphor for any illness or adversity that befalls us in life – it affects all creatures indiscriminately. As we gaze upon this print from Fables de La Fontaine, we are reminded of the timeless wisdom contained within these tales. They teach us about compassion and unity in times of hardship and remind us that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for healing and renewal.
