EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fable, "Le rat de ville et le rat des champs" (The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse). The engraving, skillfully done by Gustave Dore, brings to life the contrasting worlds of these two mice with remarkable detail. In this scene, we see the town mouse perched on a beautifully adorned table, surrounded by an array of sumptuous food and crockery. His eyes gleam with gluttony as he indulges in grapes and other delicacies. Meanwhile, the country mouse stands nearby, observing his urban counterpart with curiosity. The composition is rich in symbolism and invites contemplation about human nature. It reminds us of our own desires for material wealth and comfort that often blind us to simpler joys found in nature. The fall from grace experienced by both mice serves as a moral lesson against greed and highlights the importance of appreciating what we have. Stefano Bianchetti's expert capture allows us to appreciate every intricate line engraved by Dore. This black-and-white masterpiece not only showcases their artistic prowess but also pays homage to La Fontaine's literary genius. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork from our private collection, it transports us back to 17th-century France where fables like these were cherished for their wit and wisdom. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, great works of art continue to inspire reflection on human behavior and values.
