Fable III, plate three from Lehrreiche Fabeln aus dem Reiche der Theire (Instructive Fables from the Realm of the Theire), 1743, is a captivating etching on ivory laid paper by the renowned German artist Johann Elias Ridinger. This masterpiece, created in the 18th century, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time. The scene depicts an intriguing encounter between various animals, including a cat, a dog, an owl, and a wolf. The black and white, or bw, contrast of the print adds depth and drama to the composition. Ridinger's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the animals' textures and expressions. The lettering at the bottom of the print, written in German, identifies the title and number of the plate. This etching is part of a larger series of fables, which were popular during the 18th century for their moral lessons and allegorical meanings. The animals in this scene are not just mere representations, but rather, they embody various human qualities and behaviors. The cat and dog, for instance, may symbolize friendship and rivalry, while the owl and wolf could represent wisdom and danger, respectively. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to exhibit this historic work, which is a valuable addition to its extensive collection of prints and drawings. This art piece is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering insights into the concepts and values of the 18th century. Ridinger's Fable III, plate three, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, animals, or the human condition.
