EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration titled "Le Devil en Hell" from the book "Tales et nouvelles en verse" by Jean La Fontaine, published in 1776. The artwork, created by Pierre Philippe Choffard, takes us on a journey into the depths of human nature and desire. In this intriguing scene, we are transported to a world where girlhood innocence collides with the complexities of sexuality and religious order. The engraving depicts a young woman surrounded by members of the clergy, symbolizing the clash between societal expectations and individual desires. La Fontaine's work is known for its exploration of various themes such as libertinage, fables, and bourgeoisie life. This particular illustration delves into eroticism and challenges traditional norms through its provocative imagery. The artist Giancarlo Costa beautifully captures the essence of this historical piece through his lens. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate every intricate line drawn by Choffard over two centuries ago. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power that art holds in preserving history and sparking conversations about our shared humanity. It serves as a testament to La Fontaine's literary genius while inviting us to reflect on our own desires and beliefs in today's society.
