EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Fables of La Fontaine: The lion, the wolf and the fox" transports us into the enchanting world of French literature. Created by Percy James Billinghurst in 1910, this artwork is a visual representation of one of Jean de La Fontaine's famous fables. In this scene, we witness a meeting between three cunning creatures - a majestic lion, a fierce wolf, and a sly fox. As they gather under the watchful gaze of the moonlit night sky, their expressions reveal an intriguing tale about to unfold. La Fontaine's fables are renowned for their moral teachings disguised within animal characters. Through his storytelling prowess, he imparts wisdom and life lessons that resonate with readers across generations. This particular fable explores themes of power dynamics and survival instincts as these animals navigate their complex relationship. Billinghurst masterfully captures the essence of each character through intricate details and expressive lines. The regal presence of the lion contrasts with the menacing aura exuded by the wolf while the fox observes from afar with an air of calculated intelligence. As we delve deeper into this lithograph print, we are reminded not only of La Fontaine's literary genius but also how art can bring stories to life visually. It serves as a testament to both artists' ability to captivate our imagination through words and images alike.
