The Rat that Withdrew from the World - A Captivating Depiction of Selfishness and Moral Lessons
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures a drawing titled "The Rat that Withdrew from the World" created by Victor Bachereau-Reverchon in France around 1870. The artwork is based on Jean de La Fontaine's fable, depicting an animal world filled with symbolism and moral lessons. In this thought-provoking piece, we witness a rat who has chosen to isolate itself from society, withdrawing into its own selfish existence. The rat's decision reflects themes of egoism, narcissism, and gluttony as it clings onto a bottle of cheese - symbolizing indulgence and excess. Bachereau-Reverchon masterfully portrays the emotions associated with this tale through his skillful use of lines and shading. His attention to detail brings life to the rat's expression, conveying its inner turmoil and conflicting feelings. Through this artwork, we are reminded of La Fontaine's timeless wisdom about human nature. It serves as a cautionary tale against selfishness while highlighting the consequences one may face when driven solely by personal desires. As we delve into this image, let us reflect upon our own actions and consider how they impact those around us. This drawing invites us to explore deeper meanings within ourselves while appreciating art as a powerful medium for storytelling. (Photo © CCI)
