EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The hare and the frogs (Le lievre et les grenouilles)" from the famous Fables by La Fontaine. Created in the 19th century, this engraving by Grandville beautifully captures a scene filled with intrigue and tension. In this artwork, we see an illustration of a hare standing on the shore of a lake, surrounded by a group of frightened frogs. The composition is rich in detail, displaying the mastery of both Grandville as an illustrator and Auguste Desperet as a wood reporter. The image evokes various emotions; it conveys fear through the wide-eyed expressions of the frogs while simultaneously capturing curiosity in the gaze of the hare. The artist's skillful use of shading and line work brings depth to each character, making them come alive within this black-and-white medium. "The Hare and the Frogs" is one of Jean de La Fontaine's most renowned fables that teaches valuable lessons about pride and its consequences. This visual representation adds another layer to understanding this timeless tale, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its narrative. Thanks to A© Jean Duvallon's expert photography skills, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece up close. It serves as a testament to not only La Fontaine's literary genius but also to Grandville's artistic prowess.
