EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing engraving titled "Le remede" from the renowned collection of "Tales et nouvelles en vers" by Jean La Fontaine. Created in 1762 by an unknown artist, this artwork is a testament to the rich literary and artistic heritage of 18th-century France. The image depicts a scene that delves into themes of health, care, and societal norms. A young woman can be seen biting her lip while being attended to by a doctor. The composition suggests that she may be suffering from some form of disease or ailment, seeking solace through medical intervention. The engraving not only captures the physical aspect but also alludes to deeper layers within French literature and libertinage culture prevalent during that era. It reflects on the bourgeoisie's fascination with eroticism and their pursuit of pleasure amidst social constraints. Giancarlo Costa's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship present in this historical artwork. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in La Fontaine's fable-like narrative. This print serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with society's values and aspirations throughout history. It invites us to explore the complexities underlying seemingly simple scenes while appreciating the beauty inherent in every brushstroke or engraved line.
