Doré's Artistic Brilliance: Capturing the Drama and Emotion
Doré's masterful brushstrokes create a vivid and dynamic scene. The hare, poised on a rock, exudes arrogance, while the frogs, gathered below in a pond, embody humility. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the drama, casting the hare as a figure of pride and the frogs as symbols of wisdom.
Beyond the Image: Symbolism and Meaning
