Reynard Condemned - A Captivating Allegory of Animal Anthropomorphism
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching, titled "Reynard Condemned" is a masterpiece created by the renowned Dutch artist Allart van Everdingen in the mid-17th century. The artwork belongs to the artistic school of allegorical representations, showcasing animals with human characteristics. The print depicts an intriguing scene from the famous fable "Reynard the Fox". In this dramatic moment, Reynard, a cunning fox known for his deceitful ways, stands before a council of animal judges who have condemned him for his misdeeds. Surrounding him are anthropomorphic figures representing various creatures such as lions, bears, wolves, and badgers. Van Everdingen's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this etching. The intricate lines bring life to each character's expression and posture while capturing their distinct animal features. Through this visual storytelling technique, he skillfully conveys complex moral lessons embedded within traditional folklore. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , we are transported back to 17th-century Netherlands – a time when art flourished in the Low Countries. Van Everdingen's work not only showcases his technical mastery but also serves as a testament to his contribution to Dutch heritage art. "Reynard Condemned" remains an enduring symbol of timeless tales and serves as a reminder that even animals can teach us
