EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les deux rats, le fox et l'egg" is a stunning depiction of a fable by Jean de La Fontaine. The engraving, created by Gustave Dore, beautifully brings to life the story's characters and moral lesson. In this scene, we see two cunning rats standing beside a mischievous fox who eyes an egg with great interest. The intricate details in the artwork showcase Dore's skill as an engraver, capturing the expressions on each character's face and their body language. La Fontaine's Fables are renowned for their insightful observations about human nature and society. Through animal protagonists like these rats and foxes, he cleverly conveys important morals that still resonate today. This particular fable explores themes of greed and deception. The contrast between light and shadow in this print adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the intensity of the moment. Stefano Bianchetti has done justice to Dore's original work through his careful reproduction. As you admire this remarkable piece from your private collection, let it serve as a reminder of timeless wisdom passed down through generations. It is a testament to both La Fontaine's literary genius and Dore's artistic brilliance that such stories continue to captivate audiences even centuries later.
