EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fables. Titled "The Fox, the Flies and the Herisson" this artwork transports us to a world of imagination and moral lessons. Created by Francois Chauveau in 1728, this edition of La Fontaine's fables captures the essence of his poetic storytelling. In this particular illustration, we see a cunning fox surrounded by pesky flies while encountering a prickly hedgehog. The intricate details bring each character to life, allowing us to delve into their personalities and motivations. As we gaze at this engraving, we can almost hear the whispers of wisdom hidden within these pages. La Fontaine's fables have long been cherished for their ability to entertain and educate readers of all ages. Through anthropomorphic animals and clever narratives, he imparts valuable life lessons that remain relevant even today. This artwork serves as a visual representation of those teachings - reminding us to be cautious like the fox, resilient like the hedgehog, and mindful of our surroundings. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this masterpiece through his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we admire this print in our private collection or gallery space, let it serve as a reminder that art has the power not only to delight our senses but also inspire introspection and personal growth.
