EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'avare qui a perdu son tresor - The miser who lost his treasure" takes us on a journey through the depths of human emotions. Inspired by Jean de La Fontaine's Fables, this engraving after Gustave Dore beautifully captures the essence of misfortune and sadness. The image portrays a man, consumed by greed and avarice, who has tragically lost his precious treasure. His face reflects the weight of his actions as he realizes the consequences of his insatiable desire for wealth. In this moment, we witness the downfall of a character whose pursuit of material possessions has led him to poverty and despair. Through this artwork, Stefano Bianchetti skillfully brings to life La Fontaine's moral teachings about capital sins such as avarice. It serves as a powerful reminder that true wealth lies not in material possessions but in compassion and generosity towards others. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to 17th century France, where literature and poetry thrived. This engraving encapsulates both the beauty and tragedy found within French culture during that time period. Overall, "L'avare qui a perdu son tresor - The miser who lost his treasure" is an evocative portrayal of human nature's flaws and serves as an enduring testament to the timeless lessons conveyed through art.
