The Lion Going To War
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the renowned book "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine" beautifully illustrated by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899. This enchanting artwork depicts a scene from Recueil 1, Book 5, fable 19, where the lion prepares to embark on a fierce battle. In this intricate print, we see various animals gathered around the majestic lion as he declares war. The wolf stands tall beside him, exuding strength and determination. A leopard lurks in the background, ready to pounce at any moment. Other creatures such as hares, bears, camels, foxes, monkeys, donkeys, tawny elephants add to the diversity of this animal kingdom. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool. Each animal's expression conveys its unique personality and role within this grand spectacle of combat strategy. This artwork not only showcases Billinghurst's exceptional talent but also pays homage to Jean de La Fontaine's timeless French literature and poetry. It transports us back to an era when fables were used as moral lessons for both young and old alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art captured by Stefano Bianchetti through Fine Art Finder collection; we are reminded of the power that lies within storytelling and how it continues to captivate our imagination centuries later.
