EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jean La Fontaine's "Le Falcon" from his collection "Tales et nouvelles en vers". Illustrated by P. P. Choffard in 1776, this enchanting artwork takes us back to a time when French literature and poetry flourished. The image depicts a moment of seduction and love, as a young woman leans in for a kiss with her eyes closed, while holding onto the arm of her lover. The engraving beautifully portrays the emotions and desires that permeate La Fontaine's fable. La Fontaine was known for his ability to weave moral lessons into his tales, often using animals as characters to convey deeper meanings. In "Le Falcon" he explores themes of human nature, love, and desire within the context of French bourgeoisie society. The intricate details in Choffard's illustration bring this folktale to life, capturing not only the physical beauty but also the emotional intensity between these two individuals. It is through art like this that we can appreciate the timeless allure of classic literature and its ability to transcend time and culture. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully preserved this piece of French literary history through his photography. This print serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and invites us to delve into La Fontaine's world where words come alive on paper.
