EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Stork and the Crow: An Argument about Favour with Jupiter," is an exquisite example of the rich and enduring tradition of mythological storytelling. Dating back to 1761, this work of art was created by an unknown artist and published by Dodsley, a renowned publisher of the time. The print depicts a fascinating scene from an ancient fable, in which two birds, a stork and a crow, engage in a heated argument over who is most favored by the king of the gods, Jupiter. The story goes that the stork, with its long and graceful neck, believed itself to be the most favored bird due to its noble appearance. The crow, on the other hand, with its sharp intelligence and adaptability, felt it was the true favorite, as Jupiter had given it the ability to speak. The argument escalated, and Jupiter, amused by their dispute, decided to settle it by inviting them to a feast. He presented each bird with a gift: a golden chain for the stork and a piece of meat wrapped in gold for the crow. The birds were delighted with their gifts, but the crow, being wiser, realized that Jupiter had given the stork a decoration that would hinder its ability to eat, while the meat wrapped in gold was a practical gift for the crow. This print beautifully captures the essence of the fable, with the stork and the crow depicted in intricate detail, locked in their argument, while Jupiter looks on amused from the heavens. The historical significance of this work lies in its preservation of an ancient myth, which continues to captivate and inspire audiences to this day. The print is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the timeless appeal of mythology.
