EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Jean-Honore Fragonard, titled "How does the spirit come to girls (La Fontaines tale)" transports us back to the 18th century. The image beautifully illustrates a scene from one of Jean de la Fontaine's tales, capturing the essence of affection and tenderness. In this enchanting print, we find ourselves in a master bedroom of a grand house. A couple is depicted, with the focus on a woman who exudes femininity and grace. She stands amidst an array of vibrant flowers, their wild beauty mirroring her own allure. The floral backdrop adds an element of freshness and natural beauty to the composition. The man in this scene embodies masculinity as he gazes upon his beloved with admiration and longing. Their connection is palpable, evoking feelings of love and desire. It is evident that they are deeply enamored with each other. Fragonard's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this engraving – from the intricate botanical elements to the delicate expressions on both figures' faces. This piece not only captures a moment between two lovers but also serves as a testament to Fragonard's skill as an engraver. As we admire this exquisite artwork, we are transported into another time where love blossoms amidst beautiful surroundings. It reminds us that even centuries later, emotions such as affection and tenderness remain timeless and universal themes that continue to captivate our hearts.
