Fabre, a name that resonates with brilliance and talent throughout history. Jean Henri Fabre, also known as FABRE (1823 - 1915), was a renowned French entomologist whose passion for insects led him to become one of the most influential scientists of his time. His dedication to studying the intricacies of nature earned him the title "the insect's Homer. " But Fabre is not just limited to the world of science. In Susanna and the Elders, an exquisite painting from 1791, we see another side of Fabre's influence. Patiently waiting in this masterpiece by an unknown artist, he symbolizes the support given to geniuses like himself. During the tumultuous times of the French Revolution, another Fabre emerged onto the stage – Philippe Francois Nazaire Fabre d Eglantine (28 July 1750 - 5 April 1794). Known as Fabre d Eglantine, he was not only an actor but also a dramatist, poet, and politician who played a significant role during this era of upheaval. The French Revolution itself holds many stories intertwined with Fabres. From Andre Fabre's contributions to Miss Fabre's captivating performances on stage – their names became synonymous with excellence. Even beyond individuals bearing this illustrious surname lies its mark on art and culture. A portrait captures Henry Richard Vassall Fox, 3rd Lord Holland (1766-1837), seated half-length – showcasing how even aristocracy recognized and admired those associated with the name "Fabre. " And let us not forget about Serignan; it is here that Jean-Henri Fabres' house stands tall as a testament to his life's work. This black-and-white photograph transports us back in time when scientific discoveries were made within these very walls. Lastly, we encounter A Young Man Dressed as an Arcadian Shepherd – an oil painting that exudes the essence of Fabre's spirit.
