EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving from La Fontaine's Fables, illustrated by the renowned Gustave Doré, transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century storytelling. Titled "The Falcon and the Capon" this print showcases a mesmerizing allegory painting that captures both the beauty and symbolism of nature. Intricately engraved with delicate details, this image depicts a majestic falcon perched atop a fountain, while a plump capon stands nearby. The contrast between these two birds - one representing freedom and power, the other symbolizing domesticity - invites viewers into an intriguing tale filled with moral lessons. With its Victorian style and woodcut aesthetic, this print exudes nostalgia for a time when artistry flourished in every stroke. It serves as a reminder of our rich literary history through Jean de la Fontaine's timeless fables that continue to captivate readers even today. As we gaze upon this antique masterpiece, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten. Its obsolete charm evokes feelings of longing for simpler times when stories were shared around firesides or read under lamplight. Duncan1890 has expertly preserved this piece of art history in his collection at Fine Art Storehouse. This print is not only an homage to classic literature but also an invitation to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating such masterpieces during the 19th century revival period.
