EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The Nurse And The Wolf" artist Richard Heighway brings to life a fable from Aesop's collection. The scene depicts a nursemaid standing fearlessly before a menacing wolf, showcasing the timeless theme of courage in the face of danger. Heighway's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he masterfully captures the intensity and suspense of the moment. The nursemaid's expression conveys both determination and concern for her young charges, while the wolf exudes an air of predatory menace. This print, part of a private collection, serves as a visual reminder of the enduring power and wisdom found within Aesop's fables. It was originally created as an illustration for Joseph Jacobs' book "The Fables of Aesop" published by Macmillan in 1894. "The Nurse And The Wolf" is just one example among many beloved stories that have been passed down through generations. Its moral lesson teaches us about bravery and selflessness, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we can find strength within ourselves. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let it serve as inspiration to face our own challenges head-on with unwavering resolve - just like the brave nursemaid facing down the formidable wolf.
