EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Le savetier et le financier - The Cobbler and the Financier" from Fables by Jean de La Fontaine. Created by engraver Gustave Dore, this piece of art is a true masterpiece that belongs to a private collection. The image depicts a fascinating scene where a cobbler and a financier engage in conversation. The cobbler, dressed in his apron and traditional costume, appears engrossed in a book while holding his tools of the trade. On the other hand, the finely-dressed financier seems to be discussing matters with great enthusiasm. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every element has been meticulously captured by Stefano Bianchetti's lens. From the intricate pendulum clock on the wall to the bag of money held tightly by the financier, each component adds depth and meaning to this artwork. This print not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also highlights themes of communication, literature, finance, and human interaction. It serves as an invitation for viewers to delve into La Fontaine's fables and explore their moral teachings. With its black-and-white composition, this print exudes elegance and timelessness.
