EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Le Bucheron et Mercure - The Woodman and Mercury" from the collection "A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine" illustrated by Percy J. Billinghurst in 1899. The artwork, created by Billinghurst himself, depicts a scene from Book 5, fable 1 of La Fontaine's famous work. In this enchanting image, we see a woodman holding an axe while encountering the mythological character Mercury (also known as Hermes). The woodman appears to be engaged in conversation with Mercury, creating an intriguing encounter between human labor and divine intervention. The intricate details of the engraving bring out the essence of French literature and mythology. The handle of the axe is beautifully depicted along with other elements that symbolize hard work and poetry. This piece not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents the fusion of artistry and storytelling. The artist Stefano Bianchetti has masterfully captured this historical artwork, showcasing his talent for preserving works of art through photography. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate both Bianchetti's skillful composition as well as Billinghurst's artistic interpretation. Whether you are drawn to mythology or have an appreciation for classic literature, this print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire artists today.
