EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving by Grandville, titled "The horse wanted to avenge the deer" we are transported into the world of fables by La Fontaine. The intricate illustration showcases the power and determination of a majestic horse seeking vengeance for its fallen friend, the deer. The scene is set in a lush forest, where the hunter becomes the hunted. With lance in hand, our valiant equine protagonist charges forward with unwavering resolve. Its eyes gleam with fiery determination as it gallops towards an unseen foe, ready to mete out justice on behalf of its fallen comrade. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool. From the delicate etching of each leaf on surrounding trees to the meticulous rendering of muscles rippling beneath the horse's sleek coat, Grandville brings this tale to life before our very eyes. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies deeper themes such as loyalty and retribution found within La Fontaine's timeless fables. It serves as a reminder that even animals possess complex emotions and can be driven by noble intentions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Jean Duvallon's private collection, we are reminded of humanity's connection to nature and our shared responsibility to protect those who cannot defend themselves.
