EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Lions en allant en Guerre, c. 1755-1759 (engraving) captures the essence of a captivating fable brought to life through the artistic mastery of Jean-Baptiste Oudry. This enchanting print, part of the Fables Choisis series by Jean de la Fontaine, transports us to a world where animals take on human characteristics and tell profound stories. In this particular scene, we witness a medium group of animals gathered together in an assortment that includes monkeys, an elephant, and a majestic lion. The lion stands tall and proud as he plans his strategy for war. His posture exudes strength and determination while his fellow animal companions listen attentively. Oudry's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Charles Nicolas Cochin et Beauvais' engraving technique. Each animal is meticulously rendered with lifelike precision, showcasing the artist's deep understanding of anatomy and movement. The mid-eighteenth-century Rococo era comes alive through this artwork's playful composition and delicate ornamentation. It serves as both entertainment event and moral lesson—a testament to the enduring power of storytelling throughout history. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded not only of Oudry's talent but also of the timeless appeal of fables that continue to captivate audiences across generations.
