EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "She responded to my protests and oaths with a tone of mockery so cold that I swore" transports us back to the 19th century. The artwork is part of the collection "Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals" created between 1837-47 by Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, also known as J. J. Grandville. In this intriguing piece, we witness an extraordinary blend of anthropomorphism and artistry. A wolf stands tall in a country setting, its piercing gaze fixed upon us. The artist skillfully captures the essence of human emotions within this animal form. The scene depicted here tells a story - one filled with tension and defiance. As suggested by the title, our protagonist finds herself confronted by someone who responds to her protests and oaths with disdainful mockery. The atmosphere exudes an icy chill that seems capable of freezing even the warmest hearts. Honore de Balzac once said that "the more one judges, the less one loves". This sentiment resonates through Grandville's work as he delves into complex themes such as power dynamics and social interactions among animals. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this wood engraving invites viewers to ponder upon its intricate details while contemplating their own experiences with prideful oppositions met in life's journey.
