EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Earmaker or The Mussel Raccomoder" from the book "Tales et nouvelles en vers" by Jean de La Fontaine, published in Amsterdam in 1776. Illustrated by P. P. Choffard, this artwork is a true gem of French literature and folklore. In this enchanting engraving, we are transported into a world of conversation and imagination. A young girl engages in dialogue with an unknown figure, perhaps discussing the tales and fables that lie within the pages of La Fontaine's work. The intricate details captured by Choffard bring these characters to life as they explore the realms of poetry and storytelling. As we delve deeper into the image, we can sense the influence of libertinage - a cultural movement that challenged societal norms during this period. This piece not only reflects on human nature but also provides commentary on French society at large. With its rich symbolism and exquisite execution, this artwork serves as a testament to both La Fontaine's literary genius and Choffard's artistic prowess. It reminds us of the enduring power of storytelling throughout history. Now preserved in a private collection, this masterpiece continues to inspire generations with its beauty and depth. Giancarlo Costa has expertly captured this moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate every nuance and detail for years to come.
