EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Grandville, titled "The horse and the wolf (Le cheval et le loup) - Fables by La Fontaine" transports us to the enchanting world of French literature. The scene depicts a picturesque countryside with a horse and a wolf engaged in an intriguing conversation. As we delve into this timeless fable penned by Jean de La Fontaine, we are reminded of the power of communication and its ability to bridge unlikely friendships. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each blade of grass and capturing the essence of both animals. The horse stands tall and majestic, exuding strength and wisdom, while the cunning wolf gazes intently at his equine companion. Their animated expressions hint at their deep connection despite their inherent differences. This print serves as a visual representation of La Fontaine's masterful storytelling that has captivated readers for centuries. It invites us to reflect on our own interactions with others, reminding us that true understanding can be found even between seemingly incompatible beings. As we admire this exquisite piece from A© Jean Duvallon's private collection, we are transported back in time to an era where literature was revered as art itself. This engraving not only pays homage to La Fontaine's enduring legacy but also celebrates the beauty found within nature's harmonious tapestry.
