EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created anonymously in the year 1700, showcases the renowned French poet and fabulist, Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695). La Fontaine is best known for his collection of fables, "Fables de La Fontaine," which brought the ancient Greek and Roman tales to life in a contemporary and accessible manner. The Baroque-style oil on canvas painting beautifully captures the intellectual and refined nature of La Fontaine, with his piercing gaze and intricately detailed attire. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the portrait, creating an enchanting and timeless image. The private collection in which this artwork resides is fortunate to possess such a significant piece of literary and artistic history. This portrait not only serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Jean de La Fontaine, but also to the skill and artistry of the anonymous artist who brought his likeness to life over three centuries ago.
