EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Renards mangeant des oeufs a la coq devant une poule en pleurs" transports us to a world of anthropomorphic animals, where emotions and human-like behavior take center stage. Illustrated by the talented JJ Granville (also known as J. J. Grandville), this engraving is part of the book "Scenes de la vie privee et publique des animaux" written by Charles Nodier in 1842. In this particular vignette, we witness a scene that evokes both sympathy and intrigue. A group of foxes can be seen devouring eggs while standing before a sorrowful hen. The juxtaposition between the joyous feast of the cunning renards and the distraught expression on the hen's face creates an emotional tension that captivates our attention. The intricate details and skillful technique employed by Godard in his engraving bring life to each character, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully into their world. As we observe this scene unfold, we are reminded of Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard's ability to infuse human characteristics into animal depictions, making them relatable and thought-provoking. This remarkable piece not only showcases artistic excellence but also serves as a reflection on contemporary social mores during its time of publication. It invites viewers to ponder themes such as deceit, power dynamics, and empathy within society through its clever portrayal of these animal characters. Preserved in private collections for years, this photograph taken by Jean Duvallon offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us that art has always been an avenue for storytelling and introspection across generations.
