EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Raven and the Fox: Fable" by Jean de La Fontaine, a renowned French poet and writer from the 17th century. The chromolithography, created in the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this timeless fable. In this artwork, we see a raven perched on a branch while a cunning fox stands below it. The fable tells the story of how flattery can lead to deception. As depicted in the image, the fox uses his sly words to convince the raven to drop its piece of cheese from its beak. This classic tale serves as an allegory for human society and highlights themes such as nobility, money, and social dynamics. The artist behind this chromolithography remains anonymous but has skillfully brought La Fontaine's fable to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. This particular print is part of a private collection that adds to its rarity and value. "The Raven and the Fox: Fable" continues to resonate with audiences today due to its universal message about trust and manipulation. It reminds us that appearances can be deceiving and encourages critical thinking in our interactions with others. Stefano Bianchetti's photograph allows us to appreciate both La Fontaine's literary genius and the artistic interpretation of this beloved fable through visual imagery.
