EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Two Pigeons" an enchanting illustration created by Giles Demarteau in 1772 for the Fables de la Fontaine. The image depicts a scene from Jean de La Fontaine's fable, where two pigeons are deeply entwined in a tale of love. In this intricate engraving, the artist skillfully captures the essence of romance and longing. The two pigeons stand side by side, their bodies forming a heart shape as they gaze into each other's eyes with affectionate tenderness. Above them hovers Cupid, armed with his quiver full of arrows ready to strike at any moment. Symbolism abounds in this artwork: the arrow represents desire and passion while the torch signifies eternal love. A wreath adorns their heads, symbolizing unity and commitment between these feathered lovers. Demarteau's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the delicate feathers on the birds' bodies to the intricate patterns etched into their wings, every element contributes to creating a visually stunning piece that exudes emotion. Displayed within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or species – it transcends time and remains an eternal force that unites all beings who dare to open their hearts.
