EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by Gustave Dore, captures the essence of a timeless allegory. In this 19th-century style print, we are transported to a sheep farm where a flock of sheep peacefully grazes under the watchful eye of their canine guardian. The characters in this scene evoke a sense of retro revival and take us back to an era when engraved images and woodcuts were the epitome of artistry. The print showcases the delicate balance between predator and prey as it portrays wolves lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment. The terrified sheep huddle together, seeking safety in numbers while the full moon casts an eerie glow over the night sky. This depiction not only highlights nature's beauty but also reminds us of its inherent dangers. With its black and white composition, this antique image exudes history and past traditions. It transports us to a world where aggression was met with fear and survival relied on unity within groups of animals. Through Jean de la Fontaine's fable brought to life by Gustave Dore's skilled hand, we are reminded that even in fantasy tales like these, there is often truth hidden beneath layers of imagination. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and a thought-provoking piece that invites reflection on our relationship with nature.
