EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Fable of the Doves and the Hawks" we are transported back to 1665, a time when fables held great significance in conveying moral lessons. The image depicts a scene from Aesop's fable, where doves find themselves beset by predatory birds. The dovecote stands as a symbol of safety and tranquility for these gentle creatures. However, their peaceful existence is shattered as hawks swoop down upon them with malicious intent. Overwhelmed by the larger and stronger predators, the doves face imminent danger. But amidst this chaos, an unexpected ally emerges - Venus and Cupid in their chariot drawn by doves. They witness the plight of these innocent creatures and decide to intervene. With divine intervention on their side, they enlist help against the attacking hawks. This illustration by Dirk Stoop beautifully captures both vulnerability and resilience. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, there is always hope for salvation. John Ogilby's collaboration adds depth to this artwork through his meticulous attention to detail. Every feather seems alive under his brush strokes, evoking empathy within viewers' hearts. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, let it serve as a reminder that unity can overcome adversity; no matter how dangerous or powerful our adversaries may be if we stand together like these courageous doves did so long ago.
