EDITORS COMMENTS
This print features the artwork "La courtesan amoureuse" from the book "Tales et nouvelles en vers" by Jean La Fontaine, published in 1762. Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this enchanting engraving is part of a private collection. The image portrays a young girl who embodies both beauty and sensuality as she assumes the role of a courtesan. The delicate lines and intricate details capture her allure and evoke a sense of mystery. This artwork reflects the French literature of its time, exploring themes such as love, libertinage, and poetry. Jean La Fontaine's work was highly regarded during his lifetime and continues to be celebrated today for its moral lessons disguised within fables. This particular piece showcases his ability to delve into human emotions through storytelling. The juxtaposition between elegance and eroticism makes this print alluring yet thought-provoking. It provides us with a glimpse into the world of the bourgeoisie in 17th-century France while also highlighting societal attitudes towards women at that time. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this historical masterpiece through his lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we admire this exquisite print, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to transcend time and ignite our imagination.
