EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le petit poisson et le pecheur - The fisherman and the little fish" transports us into the enchanting world of Jean de La Fontaine's fables. Created by Gustave Dore, a renowned engraver, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of one of La Fontaine's timeless tales. In this scene, we witness a moral dilemma unfold between a small fish and an unsuspecting fisherman. As the little fish swims near the shore, it is enticed by the bait on the fishing rod held by the eager angler. The intricate details in black and white bring out every emotion felt by both characters. La Fontaine's fables were celebrated for their ability to convey profound life lessons through relatable animal characters. This particular story reminds us of our own vulnerability when faced with temptation and how easily we can fall prey to our desires. The artist Stefano Bianchetti has skillfully captured Dore's original engraving in this exquisite photo print. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and language barriers to touch our hearts. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the power literature holds in shaping our understanding of morality and human nature. Through its visual storytelling, "Le petit poisson et le pecheur" invites us to reflect on our own choices and actions while appreciating the beauty found within classic works like those penned by La Fontaine.
