The Child and the Schoolmaster
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating chromolitho print by Gustave Dore, depicting a scene from an educational card dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century. In this enchanting artwork, we are transported to a riverbank where a young child stands precariously close to the water's edge. The child's innocent curiosity seems to have caught the attention of a stern-looking schoolmaster, who stands nearby with an air of authority. The composition exudes both beauty and tension as it draws inspiration from Jean de La Fontaine's fables. It hints at the moral lesson that lies within these tales - perhaps cautioning against recklessness or disobedience. Dore's skillful use of color in this chromolitho print adds depth and vibrancy to every element: from the lush greenery surrounding them, to the shimmering waters reflecting their presence. The French influence is evident not only in its subject matter but also in its portrayal of traditional attire worn by both characters. This evocative image transports us back in time, inviting us into a world where education was highly valued and stories were used as tools for teaching important life lessons. "The Child and the Schoolmaster" serves as a reminder of our own childhood innocence while urging us to reflect on timeless values that still hold relevance today.
