EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration by Albert Robida, a renowned artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The artwork beautifully depicts the famous fable of La Fontaine, adapted by poet Emile Hinzelin. In this poignant scene, we witness the tragic fate of the poor cicada in a winter landscape. Robida's skillful hand brings to life the delicate details of both insects against a backdrop of snow-covered branches. The frailty and vulnerability of the cicada are palpable as it succumbs to hunger and cold. Its once vibrant colors now fade away, mirroring its fading life force. The contrast between the lively ant and its ill-fated counterpart evokes deep reflection on themes such as industriousness, foresight, and compassion. As viewers gaze upon this masterpiece, they are reminded of our own responsibility to prepare for adversity and extend kindness towards those less fortunate. Through his artistry, Robida captures not only the essence of this timeless fable but also invites us to ponder its moral implications in our own lives. This profound visual interpretation serves as a testament to his mastery in conveying complex emotions through imagery. As admirers contemplate this remarkable piece, they are transported into a world where literature intertwines with art seamlessly—a world where imagination flourishes under Robida's brushstrokes.
