EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1479 brings to life one of Aesop's timeless fables, "Thais & the Youth". Depicting a scene filled with intrigue and moral lessons, the illustration showcases a young boy and girl surrounded by men and women. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this ancient tale through intricate details and expressive gestures. In this particular fable, Thais, known for her beauty and charm, encounters a youth who is captivated by her allure. As they engage in conversation amidst a gathering of onlookers, the viewer is left to ponder the consequences of their interaction. Will Thais use her power wisely? Will the youth succumb to temptation or make wise choices? The woodcut technique used in this print adds depth and texture to each figure while maintaining an overall sense of simplicity. The bold lines create strong contrasts that draw attention to key elements within the composition. Published in Venice during an era when printed books were still relatively new, this edition of Aesop's fables would have been treasured by its readers for both its literary content and artistic merit. Today, it serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with storytelling through visual art. Whether displayed as part of a collection or admired individually, this woodcut print invites viewers into Aesop's world where wisdom can be found within every tale.
