EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, takes us back to the 19th century with its retro revival style. The print depicts a scene from the fable "The Miller, His Son, and the Ass" showcasing romantic activity amidst an agricultural occupation. In this image, we see young men and women flirting playfully while an ass stands nearby. The characters in this obsolete woodcut capture the essence of a bygone era, evoking a sense of history and fantasy. The intricate details of the illustration and painting highlight Gustave Dore's talent as an artist. As we gaze at this print, we can almost feel ourselves transported to another time - a time when literature was filled with allegory paintings that stirred our imagination. It reminds us of Jean de la Fontaine's timeless fairy tales that continue to resonate today. Intriguingly, there is also an air of irritation present among some figures in Victorian-style attire. Perhaps it symbolizes societal norms or expectations being challenged during that period. Overall, this antique print captures both beauty and intrigue through its old-fashioned charm. It serves as a reminder of how art has evolved over time while still retaining its power to captivate us even centuries later.
