EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the renowned French poet Jean de La Fontaine engaged in a conversation with a young girl. The scene is set amidst a picturesque backdrop of nature, with various animals surrounding them. These creatures are none other than the iconic characters from La Fontaine's timeless fables - the wolf, lamb, stork, turtle, rat, frog, hare, fox and raven. Captured by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville) in 1896 and now part of a private collection, this image beautifully portrays the essence of La Fontaine's literary world. It showcases his ability to bring together humans and animals through storytelling. The girl appears shy yet intrigued as she listens attentively to La Fontaine's words. A tree trunk serves as their meeting place while they engage in deep communication surrounded by these symbolic creatures. Each animal represents different aspects of human nature that were brilliantly explored in La Fontaine's fables. This artwork by Stefano Bianchetti captures not only the charm of French countryside but also highlights the seductive power of literature itself. It reminds us that stories have an incredible ability to transcend time and connect people across generations. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene filled with poetry and imagination, we are reminded of why Jean de La Fontaine remains one of France's most celebrated writers whose works continue to inspire readers around the world today.
