A Lebre e a Tartaruga

1912

Arthur Rackham dá vida à clássica fábula de Esopo com um charme britânico delicioso nesta ilustração de 1912, um exemplo primordial de seu trabalho durante a Era de Ouro da Ilustração. A Lebre, bastante elegante em um terno verde, parece estar no meio de uma ostentação, gesticulando wildy enquanto a Tartaruga observa com paciência constante. Eles não estão sozinhos, porém; uma Raposa presunçosa em um casaco rosa cruza os braços ceticamente, enquanto um Lobo faz de garçom e Cegonhas altas permanecem ao lado como verdadeiros cavalheiros com guarda-chuvas. O estilo característico de Rackham mistura o whimsical com o ligeiramente assustador, capturando o momento perfeito de hybris antes que a famosa corrida comece.
