EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jean de La Fontaine's fable, "The weasel enters an attic (La belette entree dans un grenier)". Created in the 19th century by Grandville, this engraving is a true masterpiece that showcases the artist's incredible talent. In this scene, we see a mischievous weasel making its way into an attic. The intricate details and fine lines bring every element to life - from the texture of the wood to the expression on the weasel's face. It is as if you can almost hear its tiny paws scurrying across the floor. The composition itself tells a story; it invites us to imagine what adventures await this curious creature within those walls. Perhaps it seeks shelter or food, or maybe it simply enjoys exploring new territories. Whatever its motive may be, one thing is certain: this image transports us into a world of imagination and wonder. As part of La Fontaine's collection of fables, this engraving beautifully complements his timeless storytelling. It serves as a visual representation of his words and adds another layer of depth to his tales. With its rich history and artistic excellence, this print is not only a stunning piece for any art enthusiast but also an invitation to delve into La Fontaine's enchanting world once again.
