1908 “Aesop and Xantas.” Goupilgravure. Goupil & Cie. Image 6.4” x 4.2”. “Photogravure of the original painting.” $6.99 from redbuk on Ebay, Jan., ’01.
Alamy offers a print of this image titled d”His Master Introduces Aesop to the Family Circle.” Aesop here approaches the anti-type of an ideal body, not quite the “human turnip” some lives call him. This is the only time t hat I have seen “Xantas” rather than “Xanthos,” “Xanthus,” or “Xantus.” Goupil was apparently also the publisher of Roberto Fontana’s “Aesop Narrates His Fables ;to the Handmaids of Xanthus,” painted in 1876.
1910? Magazine excerpt featuring a line engraving of Heinrich Möller’s sculpture group of Aesop with two children. Unknown source.
Researching this piece has been fascinating. First of all the attribution here is highly misleading, since Heinrich Müller was a prominent Nazi, while Karl Heinrich Möller died in 1882 after producing this sculpture. Reproductions of this very engraving are available on the web. I feature one below the magazine excerpt.
2000? Photo Print Reproduction of Aesop's Fable of the Fox and Crow. Wallpaper? £2.50 from J. Williams, Essex, UK, through BidStart, Nov., '17.
This is a curious image of FC in the midst of a pleasing geometric design. The arrangement reminds me of walls in Pompeii. I wonder where this segment (?) might be.
2000? Photo Print Reproduction of Adriaan Van Stalbemt, "Landscape with Fables," 1620. Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp: oil on panel. Photo £2.50 from J. Williams, Essex, UK, through BidStart, Nov., '17.
This detailed landscape invites a search for known fables. I can identify the eagle who has flown off with a lamb in the upper left and the frogs desiring a king in the right foreground. I am not sure what animal is biting into an object in the left foreground. I am surprised not to find more fables. Are there more hidden here?
1916? Photograph of Gustav Klimt’s “Fable.” Image 12.2” x 8.7”. Overall 16.5” x 11.6”. Perhaps from fineartamerica.
Starting from the right, we find here FS; FK; perhaps “Heron”; perhaps “Lion in Love”; and perhaps TMCM. There may well be other fables hidden in the painting.
