EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving by Gustave Dore captures the essence of one of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables, "The Peacock Complaining to Juno." The intricate details and expressive characters bring this classic tale to life, as we see the proud peacock lamenting his lack of a beautiful voice to match his dazzling appearance.
Juno, the queen of the gods in Roman mythology, listens intently as the peacock makes his case for why he should be granted a melodious voice. The rich symbolism and moral lessons woven throughout La Fontaine's fables are beautifully illustrated in Dore's work, making it a captivating piece that continues to resonate with audiences today.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when storytelling was an art form cherished by all. The fusion of poetry and imagery creates a powerful narrative that reminds us of the importance of humility and gratitude in our own lives.
Whether you are familiar with La Fontaine's works or discovering them for the first time, this enchanting engraving is sure to spark your imagination and leave you pondering its deeper meanings long after you have finished admiring its beauty.
