EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from "The Candle" one of the famous fables written by Jean de La Fontaine. Created by the talented artist Francois Chauveau in 1728, this exquisite piece of artwork transports us to a world filled with imagination and wisdom. In this scene, we find ourselves in a cozy French living room, illuminated solely by the warm glow of a flickering candle. The delicate engravings bring to life the words penned by La Fontaine as they depict a young girl engrossed in reading these timeless tales. As she sits near the fireplace, surrounded by books and manuscripts, her face radiates with curiosity and wonder. Chauveau's intricate details capture not only the essence of this particular fable but also evoke a sense of nostalgia for classic literature. The animal characters that often populate La Fontaine's stories come alive on the page, adding depth and whimsy to this beautiful composition. This artwork serves as a reminder of how storytelling has been an integral part of our cultural heritage throughout history. It invites us to delve into these age-old narratives that teach valuable lessons about life while providing comfort and entertainment. As we admire Giancarlo Costa's skillful reproduction of this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to appreciate both Chauveau's artistic prowess and La Fontaine's literary genius. This print is not just an image; it is an invitation to explore centuries-old tales that continue to resonate with readers today.
