EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Devineresses" a collection of fables written by the renowned French poet Jean de La Fontaine. The illustration, skillfully crafted by FranAzois Chauveau in 1728, brings to life one of La Fontaine's enchanting tales. In this artwork, we are transported into a world where clairvoyance and mysticism reign supreme. A young girl stands at the center, her eyes filled with an otherworldly wisdom that belies her tender age. Surrounding her are symbols of divination and prophecy: tarot cards scattered on the table, a crystal ball emitting an ethereal glow, and ancient manuscripts revealing secrets yet to be unveiled. Chauveau's intricate engravings beautifully capture the essence of La Fontaine's poetic storytelling. Through his masterful strokes, he invites us to ponder the power of human intuition and our innate ability to foresee what lies ahead. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Giancarlo Costa's private collection, we find ourselves immersed in a realm where literature intertwines with visual artistry. It serves as a reminder that great works transcend time and continue to inspire generations long after their creation. This print not only celebrates the genius of both La Fontaine and Chauveau but also pays homage to France's rich literary heritage. It is a testament to how art can transport us beyond reality while leaving an indelible mark on our imagination.
