EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting scene from Jean La Fontaine's "Tales et nouvelles en vers" a collection of fables and folktales. Created in 1776, this illustration by P. P. Choffard transports us into the world of French literature and poetry. In the image, we see a young girl surrounded by members of the clergy, engrossed in her reading of "le psaltier". The delicate lines and intricate details bring to life the religious order that permeates La Fontaine's work. The engraving captures both the innocence and curiosity on the girl's face as she delves into these moral tales. Pierre Philippe Choffard masterfully conveys the essence of La Fontaine's storytelling through his artistry. His skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to each character, making them come alive within this visual narrative. As we admire this exquisite piece from a private collection, we are reminded of how literature has always been intertwined with religion throughout history. This print serves as a testament to La Fontaine's enduring legacy as one of France's most celebrated writers. Giancarlo Costa beautifully captures this moment in time through his lens, preserving not only Choffard's artwork but also our appreciation for centuries-old literary treasures like "Tales et nouvelles en vers.
