EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Procession, illustration from the Roman de Renart" takes us back to the enchanting world of medieval storytelling. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this engraving is a delightful parody of chanson de geste and courtly love traditions. The image depicts a procession filled with anthropomorphic animals, each displaying human characteristics. A bear, fox, donkey, ass, goat, rabbit, hare, and wolf can be seen marching solemnly towards an altar in a charming church setting. The clergy leads the way as they carry books and torches while holding crosses high above their heads. This satirical scene serves as an allegorical representation of trickery and wit found within fables. The animals' presence in religious rituals adds a touch of humor to this thought-provoking artwork. One cannot help but be captivated by the intricate details that bring these animal characters to life. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported into a whimsical world where animals take on human roles. This fascinating piece invites us to explore themes such as religion, satire, and anthropomorphism through its clever composition.
