EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful print captures the sinister betrayal of trust in Aesop's fable, "The Wolves and the Sheep." The moon shines full and bright in the night sky as the wolves break their peace pact with the unsuspecting sheep. The historical significance of this myth is brought to life in this circa 1870 depiction, where the wolves launch a vicious attack on their former allies.
The scene is filled with tension and drama as the wolves' faithlessness is revealed. The sheep huddle together in fear, realizing too late that their once trusted companions are now their enemies. The wolf at the forefront of the attack exudes a sense of malevolence, embodying all that is treacherous and deceitful.
As viewers gaze upon this powerful image, they are reminded of the importance of trust and loyalty in any relationship. The lesson from Fontaine's fable resonates through time, serving as a cautionary tale against placing one's faith in those who cannot be trusted.
"The Wolves and the Sheep" print by Rights Managed is not just a work of art; it is a visual representation of timeless wisdom that continues to hold relevance today. It serves as a reminder to always be wary of those who may betray our trust, no matter how peaceful things may seem on the surface.
