EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless artwork of "Fable of the lions and other animals" by Dirk Stoop and Johannes Ogilby, created in 1665. The image transports us to a world where fables come alive, depicting a scene filled with beasts of prey. In the midst of this vibrant composition, we encounter majestic lions, powerful bears, loyal dogs, graceful horses, mischievous monkeys, and even a daring race between equestrians. The narrative unfolds as we witness an intriguing struggle for dominance among these diverse creatures. A lion emerges as the central figure - symbolizing strength and bravery - while other animals such as a bull, wolf, jackal, leopard, and hunted deer play significant roles in this enthralling tale inspired by Aesop's fables. Through his masterful brushstrokes or penmanship (as it may be), Dirk Stoop brings life to each character within this intricate piece. We are captivated by their expressions and movements frozen in time. As viewers delve into Quint Lox's interpretation of this historical masterpiece through his expertly crafted print from Liszt Collection; they are invited to explore the depths of human nature reflected in animal form. This artwork reminds us that power can be appropriated but not always deservedly so – for even kings must prove themselves worthy before claiming their place at the top.
