Delve into the wisdom of Jean de La Bruyère, the 17th-century French essayist and moralist, whose profound insights into human nature continue to captivate readers. Known as "Saint Jean" for his spiritual depth, La Bruyère's works offer a mirror to our souls, revealing the hypocrisy and folly of society. Artists, from Madame Yevonde to Auguste Lepere after Daniel Vierge, have immortalized his legacy through their masterpieces, such as "Mrs. Ronald Balfour" and "Le Cabaret du Coq de Bruyère." Meanwhile, the term "Bruyère" also evokes the image of a luxurious skunk fur coat, a reminder of the paradoxical allure of beauty and the beast.
