EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Les deux chiens et l donkey mort - The Two Dogs and the Dead Asset" captures an enchanting scene from Collection 2, Book 8, Fable 25 of "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine". Illustrated by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899, this engraving brings to life the timeless fable with intricate details and masterful artistry. In this image, we see two dogs standing beside a riverbank, their heads lowered in contemplation. In front of them lies a deceased donkey, peacefully resting on the ground. The composition exudes a sense of melancholy as the animals mourn their fallen companion. Billinghurst's skillful use of black and white adds depth and texture to the artwork, emphasizing every stroke and line. The delicate engravings beautifully convey the emotions felt by these creatures as they grapple with loss. This piece not only showcases Billinghurst's talent but also pays homage to Jean de La Fontaine's renowned fables that have captivated readers for centuries. It serves as a reminder of our own mortality while highlighting themes such as friendship, loyalty, and the fragility of life. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported into La Fontaine's world where animals possess human-like qualities that teach us valuable lessons about ourselves and society at large.
