EDITORS COMMENTS
Le faune au chevreau, 18th century (sculpture) by Foucou, Jean Joseph captures the enchanting world of mythology and art. This exquisite sculpture, located in the Palais de Longchamp in Marseille, France, is a testament to the skill and imagination of its creator. The sculpture depicts a faun - an imaginary character from ancient Greek mythology - alongside a young goat. The intricate carving brings these mythological beings to life, showcasing their wild and untamed nature. With every curve and detail meticulously crafted by Jean Joseph Foucou, this artwork transports viewers into a realm where gods and goddesses roam freely. The presence of the goat symbolizes fertility and abundance in many cultures throughout history. As a farm animal and livestock creature, it holds great significance both as sustenance for humans and as an offering to divine entities. In pagan traditions rooted in polytheism, goats were often associated with various gods or goddesses. Jean Bernard's masterful photography beautifully captures this wonderful character sculpted by Foucou. The image invites us to appreciate not only the artistic craftsmanship but also the mythical narrative behind it. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage intertwined with religion and folklore. This print is more than just an aesthetic piece; it represents centuries-old beliefs that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
