EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white drawing, titled "The Rat who retired from the world" takes us back to the enchanting era of 1870. Created by Victor Bachereau-Reverchon, a talented artist from France, this piece is part of a private collection that celebrates literature and storytelling. Inspired by Jean de La Fontaine's fable, the drawing depicts a rat who has chosen to withdraw from society. The intricate details in this artwork bring the rat to life, showcasing its wiry whiskers and curious eyes as it stands on hind legs with an air of wisdom. Through this simple yet profound image, Bachereau captures the essence of moral teachings found in fables. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece, we are reminded of the importance of self-reflection and introspection. Just like the rat in La Fontaine's tale, sometimes it is necessary for us to step away from our bustling lives and find solace within ourselves. Bachereau's skillful strokes convey not only zoological accuracy but also evoke emotions within us. This drawing serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to conveying powerful messages about morality and human nature. Preserved through time with utmost care, this print allows us to appreciate Bachereau's artistic brilliance while immersing ourselves in centuries-old wisdom passed down through literature.
