EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Poisson et le Cormorant - Fish and Cormorant" takes us on a journey into the world of fables by Jean de La Fontaine. The engraving, after Gustave Dore, beautifully captures the essence of this timeless literary work. In this scene, we witness a fascinating interaction between two creatures from nature's realm. A cormorant stands perched on a rock, its sleek feathers glistening in the sunlight as it gazes intently at a school of fish swimming below. The fish, unaware of their impending fate, swim freely in their watery domain. The image evokes a sense of anticipation and tension as we wonder what will unfold next. Will the cormorant dive gracefully into the water to catch its prey? Or will the fish manage to escape unscathed? Beyond its visual appeal, this artwork also carries deeper meaning. La Fontaine's fables were renowned for their moral lessons cleverly disguised within animal characters and narratives. This particular fable may teach us about patience or perhaps cautionary tales about being too trusting. As we admire Stefano Bianchetti's masterful reproduction of this engraving, we are reminded once again of the power that art holds in capturing our imagination and provoking contemplation about life's complexities.
