EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the beloved fable "The Donkey and the Little Dog" by Jean de la Fontaine. Illustrated by Benjamin Rabier in 1906, this colorful lithograph brings to life the tale of inequality and jealousy. In this enchanting image, we see a quaint house with a couple sitting at their table. The husband, represented as a donkey, appears angry and agitated while attacking a little dog who is cowering in fear. This powerful visual representation perfectly depicts the central theme of the fable - envy and resentment towards those who possess more than us. "The Donkey and the Little Dog" tells an important moral story for children about appreciating what one has rather than being consumed by jealousy. It serves as a reminder that comparing oneself to others can lead to destructive behavior. Rabier's artistic interpretation skillfully portrays both characters' emotions through his use of vibrant colors and expressive details. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded of our own human tendencies towards discontentment and how it can impact our relationships. This timeless masterpiece continues to captivate audiences young and old alike with its poignant message about equality, contentment, and self-reflection.
