EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sick Lion, The Fox & The Wolf: An Ancient Aesop's Fable of Respect, Betrayal, and Cure This evocative print, titled 'The Sick Lion, The Fox & The Wolf,' depicts a poignant moment from an ancient Aesop's fable. The image, published by Dodsley in 1761, captures the essence of the timeless tale that explores themes of respect, betrayal, and the power of truth. In this fable, a lion lies sick and weak, surrounded by his loyal subjects: the wolf and the fox. The lion, in his weakened state, trustingly believes the words of the wolf, who promises to bring him the cure. However, the cunning fox, who has long been the object of the wolf's scorn and slander, overhears the conversation and reveals the truth to the lion. The lion, now aware of the wolf's deceit, orders the wolf to be brought before him. The fox, fearing for his life, tells the lion that the only way to be cured is to have the wolf flayed and the pelt used to make a healing balm. The lion, trusting the words of his longtime friend, orders the wolf to be punished. The wolf is taken away, and the lion is eventually cured, thanks to the truthful advice of the fox. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of truth and the consequences of deceit. The image, with its intricate details and expressive animal features, transports us back to a time when stories were shared orally, and their moral lessons were passed down through generations. The print, a beautiful piece of historical art, continues to captivate and inspire us today, reminding us of the enduring power of storytelling.
