The Council Held by the Rats - A Whimsical Gathering of Wise Rodents
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting print, Gustave Doré brings to life one of Jean de La Fontaine's beloved fables, "The Council Held by the Rats". The scene depicts a secret meeting of rats, gathered in a dimly lit cellar. Each rat is perched on barrels and crates, their beady eyes fixed attentively on their chairman. As the bell tolls, signaling the commencement of their discussion, these furry creatures engage in animated conversation. Eager to find a solution to their troubles, they debate with great fervor and wisdom. This whimsical gathering showcases not only Doré's exceptional artistic talent but also his ability to capture the essence of La Fontaine's timeless story. With intricate details and delicate shading techniques, Doré transports us into an imaginary world where rodents hold council meetings just like humans do. It is as if we have stumbled upon a hidden nursery for fairy tales come alive. This delightful illustration serves as a reminder that children's fables are not merely stories for amusement; they often carry profound lessons about human nature and morality. Through its charming depiction of this rodent assembly, this print invites viewers young and old alike to reflect upon themes such as unity in times of adversity or the importance of collective decision-making. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved an exquisite piece from our rich cultural heritage - an artwork that continues to captivate audiences with its magical allure centuries
