EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Le chien qui ache pour l'ombre" by Benjamin Rabier, a renowned French artist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The piece is part of his collection "Les fables de La Fontaine" which beautifully illustrates the timeless fables written by Jean de La Fontaine. In this particular image, Rabier brings to life one of La Fontaine's beloved fables through his exquisite drawing skills. The scene depicts a dog eagerly chasing its own shadow, symbolizing our human tendency to pursue illusory desires rather than appreciating what we already have. With great attention to detail, Rabier captures the essence of this moral tale in a single frame. The composition exudes an air of nostalgia, reminiscent of 17th-century French literature and poetry. It transports us back to a time when storytelling was cherished as both entertainment and education. The inclusion of a walking stick or cane adds further depth to the narrative, suggesting that wisdom can be found in learning from our mistakes. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this masterpiece with utmost respect for its historical significance and artistic brilliance. This print serves as a testament to Rabier's talent and pays homage to La Fontaine's enduring legacy. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, it invites viewers into an enchanting world where animals teach valuable lessons that resonate across generations.
