The Wolves and The Sheep by Gustave Dore (1867).  From La Fontaine’s Fables.


The image "The Wolves and the Flock of Sheep" by Gustave Doré, created in 1867, is a detailed and dramatic illustration depicting a threatening scene. In the center of the image, a group of sheep huddle together in fear as they are surrounded by wolves.

The wolves, some of which are peering over a fence, have glowing eyes that stand out ominously in the darkness. Their posture and the way they climb over the fence clearly reveal their dangerous intentions. The moon in the sky illuminates the scene, enhancing the eerie atmosphere.

In the foreground, the sheep appear to be in a state of panic, with some seemingly trying to flee while others desperately attempt to hide within the group. The trees in the background are bare and bleak, adding to the somber mood of the image. Doré uses strong contrasts of light and dark to emphasize the drama of the scene and visually depict the tension between the wolves and the sheep.
