EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene from the 19th century, showcasing "The pig, the goat and the sheep" - characters brought to life by renowned French illustrator Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, also known as Grandville. This enchanting engraving is part of a collection of fables written by La Fontaine. In this evocative image, we see an assortment of farm animals in distress. The goat and the sheep appear to be sobbing uncontrollably while being transported on a rustic cart. Their tear-streaked faces convey deep emotions that resonate with viewers across time. The intricate details in this artwork are truly remarkable; every stroke tells a story. The artist's skillful portrayal brings out the essence of these humble creatures, emphasizing their vulnerability and innocence against the backdrop of rural France. "The pig, the goat and the sheep" not only serves as an exquisite example of 19th-century literature but also offers us a glimpse into peasant life during that era. It reminds us of our interconnectedness with nature and highlights our responsibility towards caring for all living beings. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect upon its enduring message: compassion knows no boundaries or species.
