EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Doré, transports us back to the enchanting world of ancient civilizations. In this 19th-century-style print titled "Jupiter and the Thunderbolts" we are immersed in a classical allegory painting that captures the essence of Greek and Roman mythology. The black and white engraved image showcases Jupiter, the king of gods, wielding his mighty thunderbolts with an air of authority. The intricate details in this art and craft masterpiece evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time long past. As we gaze upon this antique print, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless beauty. Doré's illustration skillfully brings to life Jean de La Fontaine's fable about Jupiter bestowing power upon Mercury to wield his thunderbolts. This fairy tale-like scene transports us into a realm where gods roam freely and mythical beings come alive. With its Victorian style woodcut aesthetic, this print serves as a window into history while also igniting our imagination. It reminds us of the rich tapestry of literature and mythology that has shaped our cultural heritage. As we admire this speculative being created over two centuries ago, it is impossible not to appreciate the craftsmanship behind it. This retro revival piece invites us to delve deeper into ancient tales and revel in their enduring allure.
