{"product_id":"les-metamorphoses-du-jour-3","title":"Cock Fight by J.J. Grandville","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delightful hand-colored lithograph from J.J. Grandville's celebrated \"Les Métamorphoses du Jour\" depicts a scene of aristocratic rooster rivalry, where two plumed military officers compete for the attention of a demure hen in blue. Plate LI from the 1854 Gustave Havard edition, this witty composition exemplifies Grandville's genius for social satire through anthropomorphic allegory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrandville's influence on visual culture cannot be overstated; his animal-human hybrids presaged everything from Tenniel's Alice illustrations to Disney animation. Here, the artist skewers military pomposity and romantic competition with characteristic French wit. The hand-coloring is particularly fine, with soft watercolor washes bringing life to the russet plumage and teal regalia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of 19th century French illustration, this plate captures the satirical spirit that made Grandville one of the most innovative graphic artists of the Romantic era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5\" x 10.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.J.
