EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's stunning illustration of "The Wolf and the Lamb" from Jean de La Fontaine's timeless Fables. Created in 1868, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this beloved fable. In this scene, we see a serene landscape with towering trees as the backdrop. A cunning wolf stands menacingly before a small lamb, who appears innocent and vulnerable. The artist skillfully portrays the power dynamics between predator and prey through his meticulous attention to detail. La Fontaine's moral tale comes to life in this illustration, reminding us of the age-old struggle between good and evil. The story teaches us about injustice and deceit, as the wolf attempts to justify its desire for violence by twisting reality. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back to our childhoods when these fables were first introduced to us. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in a world filled with darkness, there is always hope for truth and justice. Whether displayed in a children's room or an art lover's collection, this print is sure to captivate viewers young and old alike. It not only celebrates Gustave Dore's exceptional talent but also pays homage to La Fontaine's enduring legacy as one of France's greatest storytellers.
