EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Brother Philippe Geese, a renowned painter from the 18th century. Created around 1736, this oil on copper masterpiece measures approximately 10 3/4 x 13 7/8 inches (273 x 352 cm). The painting, attributed to Nicolas Lancret, a French artist born in Paris in 1690 and passed away in1743, depicts a fable told by La Fontaine. The narrative begins with Brother Philippe's dedication to God as he retreats into a secluded mountain cave. As his son grew older and ventured out into the world, Brother Philippe remained steadfastly committed to his spiritual journey. However, at the age of twenty, temptation lured him back into society. In this enchanting scene captured by Lancret's brushstrokes, we witness Brother Philippe truthfully explaining his past to a group of young women at an elegant party. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this tale of self-discovery and redemption. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also invites us to reflect upon our own journeys towards truth and enlightenment. It is an exquisite piece that beautifully encapsulates the timeless themes explored by artists throughout history.
