EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Les Animaux malades de la Peste - The Animals Fallen Sick With the Plague" transports us into the world of Jean de La Fontaine's fables. Created by Gustave Doré, this engraving beautifully captures the essence of this timeless literary masterpiece. In this scene, we witness a gathering of various animals affected by a devastating plague. A rhinoceros, cur, lion, deer, bird, and goat stand together in distress as they grapple with their failing health. Each creature is meticulously detailed in black and white, showcasing Doré's exceptional talent as an engraver. The artwork not only serves as a visual representation of La Fontaine's fable but also conveys deeper meanings about morality and human nature. Through these afflicted animals' plight, we are reminded of the consequences that arise from our actions or lack thereof. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures every intricate detail in this photograph print from his private collection. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when literature intertwined with art to deliver powerful messages. This piece serves as a poignant reminder that even centuries later, works like La Fontaine's Fables continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to shed light on universal truths about life and society.
