EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Cheval et le Loup - The Horse and the Wolf" takes us into the world of fables, literature, and art. Inspired by Jean de La Fontaine's renowned collection of moralistic tales, this engraving after Gustave Dore beautifully captures a pivotal moment in one of these timeless stories. In this scene, we witness a powerful juxtaposition between two majestic creatures: the horse and the wolf. As they stand face to face, their eyes locked in an intense gaze, we can almost feel the tension in the air. The intricate details in every stroke bring life to their expressions – fear on one side and cunningness on the other. The artist skillfully portrays not only these animals but also conveys deeper meanings through symbolism. Through this artwork, we are reminded of our own human nature – how lies can be disguised as truth or how danger may lurk behind seemingly harmless encounters. As we delve into La Fontaine's fables, we uncover profound lessons that have stood the test of time. This image serves as a visual representation of those teachings – reminding us to be cautious about false appearances and deceptive intentions. Stefano Bianchetti’s masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate both his talent as an artist and pay homage to two great literary figures who continue to inspire generations with their wisdom.
