EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration by P. P. Choffard from the book "Tales et nouvelles en vers" by Jean La Fontaine, published in 1776. The image depicts Mazet de Lamporechio, a character from one of La Fontaine's tales, brought to life through Choffard's intricate engraving. In this scene, we see Mazet de Lamporechio surrounded by a group of clergymen and a young girl. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as Mazet engages in conversation with the clergy while the girl looks on curiously. The detailed rendering captures the essence of French literature and libertinage prevalent during that era. The religious undertones are evident in this artwork, symbolizing both fable and religion intertwined within society. It offers a glimpse into the world of bourgeoisie culture and their fascination with folktales and poetry. Pierre Philippe Choffard's skillful craftsmanship is showcased through his delicate lines and attention to detail, bringing each character to life on paper. This particular print is part of a private collection curated by Giancarlo Costa, who has graciously made it available for public viewing. As we admire this exquisite piece of artistry, we are transported back in time to experience the rich cultural tapestry that was France during La Fontaine's era.
