EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a timeless tale. In this 19th-century style print, we witness the Peacock complaining to Juno, the Roman goddess herself. The intricate woodcut and engraved image showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of that era. The scene depicts a magnificent peacock expressing his displeasure to Juno in black and white hues. With its feathers spread wide and an air of arrogance, this tropical bird conveys its dissatisfaction with life's circumstances. As a speculative being within this allegory painting, it symbolizes human behavior when faced with adversity. Juno, portrayed as a majestic goddess in Victorian style attire, listens attentively to the peacock's complaints. This fusion of history and fantasy transports us back to an old-fashioned world where gods and goddesses were believed to influence our lives. Through literature and artistry combined in this print, we are reminded of Jean de la Fontaine's fables' enduring power. The expressive nature of Gustave Dore's illustration brings these characters to life once again. As we gaze upon this antique masterpiece from Duncan1890's collection at Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported into a realm where past meets present. It serves as a reminder that even though styles may change over time, our fascination with storytelling remains constant throughout generations.
