EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning piece of furnishing fabric known as "Fables of La Fontaine" from Rouen, dating back to around 1830. Created by Bapaume et Cocatrix, this cotton plain weave fabric features intricate foliage designs intertwined with scenes from the famous fables of Jean de La Fontaine. The first scene depicted is "Le Villageois et le Serpent" showing a courageous villager attacking a snake with an axe. Next, we see "Le Chene et le Roseau" symbolizing the French king Louis XIV through an oak tree and representing the people of France through a reed. Lastly, there is "Le Savetier et le Financier" illustrating the tale of The Cobbler and the Financier. Designed by Alexandre Buquet after Jean Michel Moreau, the Younger, this engraved roller printed fabric showcases exceptional artistry and craftsmanship. It was manufactured by Bapaume et Cocatrix in France during the 19th century. Displayed in an art gallery or museum like the Art Institute Chicago, this heritage artwork brings together literature and design seamlessly. The monochrome aesthetic adds elegance to any interior decoration or design project. With its rich historical significance and artistic beauty, this fabric print serves as a testament to both French culture and storytelling traditions. A true masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
