1621 1695 Fable Fontaine Stork Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695), the renowned French poet and author, immortalized in an elegant and whimsical depiction. Born on July 28, 1621, in Chateau-Thierry, France, La Fontaine is best known for his collection of fables, "Fables de La Fontaine," which brought the ancient Greek and Roman tales to life for the French people. The image captures the essence of La Fontaine's playful and imaginative spirit. He is depicted as a thoughtful and introspective figure, seated under a tree, deep in thought, with a quill pen in hand and a book open before him. Surrounding him are animals from his fables, including a fox and a stork, symbolizing cunning and wisdom, respectively. La Fontaine's fables, which often featured animals as characters, were an essential part of French literature and culture. They were widely read and admired for their wit, morality, and accessibility. La Fontaine's stories continue to be beloved by readers of all ages, and his influence can be seen in the works of many subsequent writers and artists. This photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Jean de La Fontaine and his contributions to French literature and world culture. It is a beautiful and evocative representation of a great mind at work, surrounded by the creatures of his imagination.
