EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating etching titled "A wounded wolf under a tree asks a sheep for water" by Samuel Howitt tells the poignant tale of an injured predator seeking help from its prey. This artwork, created in 1811, is based on a fable by Greek author Aesop and beautifully captures the essence of this moral story. In this scene, we witness the wounded wolf humbly approaching a sheep, desperately requesting water. The vulnerability of the once fearsome creature is palpable as it seeks solace and aid from an unlikely source. The contrasting emotions between the two animals are striking - fear and caution emanate from the sheep while empathy and desperation radiate from the wolf. Howitt's masterful use of copperplate etching brings life to each stroke, showcasing his attention to detail and ability to convey complex emotions through art. Through this image, he reminds us that even in our most vulnerable moments, compassion can bridge divides and bring unexpected unity. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity and challenges us to question preconceived notions about others. It prompts reflection on themes such as trust, forgiveness, and redemption within ourselves and society at large. "A wounded wolf under a tree asks a sheep for water" invites viewers into an introspective journey where they can explore their own capacity for empathy while appreciating Howitt's artistic prowess in capturing this timeless fable.
