"The Wolf and the Stork" is a painting by French artist Jean-Baptiste Oudry, created in 1729. This artwork is part of a series that visually interprets Aesop's Fables, a collection of moral stories attributed to the ancient Greek storyteller Aesop. Oudry, known for his realistic portrayal of animals, brings to life the fable of the wolf and the stork with meticulous attention to detail and a vivid representation of the characters involved.

The painting depicts the narrative moment where a stork is extracting a bone from the throat of a wolf. This scene is emblematic of the fable’s moral lesson on the unexpected nature of gratitude and the complexities of relationships formed out of necessity rather than genuine goodwill. Oudry's composition and use of color not only highlight the central action but also enrich the storytelling through the expressive postures and gazes of the animals.

"The Wolf and the Stork" is celebrated for its technical excellence and its role in the broader context of 18th-century French art, where fable-inspired artworks were popular among patrons and art enthusiasts. Oudry’s work is particularly noted for its contribution to the genre of animal painting and its ability to capture the viewer’s imagination through both aesthetic appeal and narrative depth. The painting remains an important example of Oudry's artistry and the cultural heritage of the period.
