EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting world of fables through the artistic collaboration between Jean de La Fontaine and Francois Chauveau. The image depicts "The Turtle and the two Ducks" one of La Fontaine's renowned tales, brought to life by Chauveau's intricate illustration. In this scene, we witness a turtle accompanied by two ducks as they embark on an extraordinary adventure. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of each character, highlighting their unique traits and personalities. The turtle, known for its slow nature, is juxtaposed with the graceful ducks soaring above in flight. La Fontaine's fables have long been celebrated for their moral teachings disguised within charming narratives. Through his words, he imparts wisdom about human behavior and societal values. Chauveau masterfully translates these lessons into visual form, adding depth and dimension to La Fontaine's storytelling. The edition from which this print originates dates back to 1728, showcasing both its historical significance and enduring appeal. It serves as a testament to the timeless power of art in conveying profound messages across generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Giancarlo Costa, we are reminded of the magic that lies within literature and how it can transport us into imaginary worlds filled with talking animals and valuable life lessons.
