EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Fable of the donkey with the lion skin" we are transported back to 1665, a time when storytelling through art was at its peak. The masterful collaboration between Dirk Stoop and John Ogilby brings to life an ancient fable that has captivated audiences for centuries. The image depicts a donkey adorned in a majestic lion skin, strutting proudly as if it were the king of the jungle. This clever disguise allows the humble creature to deceive others into believing it possesses great power and authority. The intricate engravings beautifully capture every detail, from the texture of the lion's mane to the donkey's mischievous expression. As we gaze upon this old master print, we can't help but reflect on human nature and our constant desire for recognition and status. It serves as a timeless reminder that appearances can be deceiving, urging us to question those who claim superiority without substance. Artokoloro has expertly preserved this historical gem from their Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance. This piece is more than just an engraving; it is a window into another era where stories were told through visual narratives. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within one's personal collection, this print invites viewers to delve into history while contemplating universal truths about identity and perception.
