EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The little fish and the fisherman" takes us back to the 19th century, where Fables by La Fontaine came to life through the skilled hands of Grandville. The engraving depicts a scene filled with symbolism and imagination. In this enchanting artwork, we see a fisherman sitting in his small boat on a serene lake. He holds his fishing rod with anticipation, hoping to catch some nourishment for himself. However, what makes this image truly magical is the presence of a tiny fish swimming towards him. The juxtaposition between the size of the fisherman and the little fish creates an intriguing contrast that invites contemplation. Is it possible that such a small creature could hold great wisdom or power? Or perhaps it represents innocence and vulnerability? The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Auguste Desperet's woodwork and Franz Robert Richard Brend Amour's engravings. They bring life to Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard's imaginative illustrations, making them come alive before our eyes. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Jean Duvallon's private collection, we are reminded of La Fontaine's timeless literary works that continue to captivate readers even centuries later. This print serves as a beautiful tribute not only to French literature but also to the artistry involved in bringing these stories to visual form.
