EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 15th century print depicts the classic Aesop's fable of "The Fox and the Crow." Aesop, an ancient Greek storyteller, is renowned for his collection of fables that impart moral lessons through engaging animal tales. In this particular fable, a cunning fox seeks to outwit the proud and boastful crow. The story unfolds as the fox flatters the crow, praising her beautiful red feathers, and suggesting they would make a fine addition to his den. Trusting the fox's flattery, the crow flies over to the fox's den, allowing the cunning creature to grab the tasty morsel of cheese she had in her beak. This print, likely created during the Renaissance period, illustrates the moral of the story - "Do not brag about your possessions." The intricate details of the woodcut design showcase the artistic skill of the time, with the fox's sly expression and the crow's proud posture. The muted colors and textured background add depth and authenticity to the piece. This historical artifact offers a glimpse into the rich literary tradition of Aesop's fables, which have been passed down through generations and continue to captivate and teach valuable lessons to people of all ages. The timeless story of "The Fox and the Crow" remains a beloved classic, and this beautiful print serves as a testament to its enduring appeal.
