EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting engraving titled "The wolf and the dog (Le loup et le chien)" from the famous Fables by La Fontaine. Created in the 19th century by the talented artist Grandville, this piece is a true masterpiece of anthropomorphism. The image transports us into a world where animals possess human-like qualities and emotions. In this particular scene, we witness a fascinating encounter between a wild wolf and a domesticated dog. The contrast between these two creatures is strikingly depicted through their expressions and body language. The wolf exudes untamed freedom, with its piercing eyes reflecting its primal instincts. On the other hand, the dog appears more submissive yet content, symbolizing loyalty and companionship. The intricate details of this engraving are brought to life through the skillful woodwork of Auguste Desperet and expertly engraved by Franz Robert Richard Brend Amour. Their collaboration has resulted in an artwork that captures both the essence of La Fontaine's timeless fable as well as Grandville's artistic vision. This rare find belongs to a private collection but has been graciously shared with us through Jean Duvallon's lens. It serves as a reminder of France's rich literary heritage and its enduring love for storytelling through art. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also our own complex relationship with it.
