EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an allegorical portrait of the renowned French poet, writer, and storyteller Jean de La Fontaine. Surrounded by a whimsical array of animals from his beloved fables, this engraving by Jean-Baptiste Oudry beautifully captures the essence of La Fontaine's literary genius. In this enchanting composition, La Fontaine is depicted as a distinguished male figure with a bust-like presence. His expression exudes wisdom and contemplation, reflecting the depth of his storytelling prowess. The artist skillfully incorporates various animal characters from La Fontaine's fables into the portrait, emphasizing their significance in his body of work. Each creature surrounding La Fontaine symbolizes different moral lessons found within his tales. From cunning foxes to wise owls and mischievous monkeys, these animals serve as visual representations of human nature and behavior. Their inclusion not only pays homage to La Fontaine's ability to anthropomorphize creatures but also highlights the universality and timelessness of his stories. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by one of France's most celebrated literary figures. Through his imaginative narratives filled with wit and wisdom, Jean de La Fontaine continues to captivate readers across generations. This print serves as a testament to both his artistic brilliance and profound understanding of human nature through the lens of animal allegory
