EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "The mare of Compere Pierre" captures an intriguing scene from a fable by Jean de La Fontaine. Created in 1800 by Johann Heinrich Ramberg, this German artwork combines engraving on copper with watercolor to depict an early 17th-century setting. In the image, we see a stable where a priest cheerfully flatters a naked woman while another man holds a lamp and watches in astonishment. This erotic scene explores themes of desire, morality, and religious order. The composition is rich with symbolism as it delves into the complexities of human relationships and societal norms. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the horse, which stands prominently in the background as a representation of both animalistic instinct and domestication. "The mare of Compere Pierre" invites viewers to reflect on the power dynamics between individuals and challenges traditional notions of propriety within religious contexts. It draws inspiration from La Fontaine's fables that often used animals as metaphors for human behavior. This artwork resides in a private collection but has been made accessible through Fine Art Images' print reproduction. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its exploration of social taboos during the time it was created – making it an important piece within 19th-century German art history.
