520 _aEach of the vignettes signed by Fr. Chauveau for the first edition of La Fontaine’s Fables not only testifies to a particularly attentive reading of the apologue that it illustrates, but also to the illustrator’s audacity in inventing details logically deduced from the letter of the text, which rivals the freedom that La Fontaine showed in relation to his predecessors. Chauveau knew how to look at La Fontaine’s fables with the same eye with which the fabulist read Aesop’s work, with the intention of presenting them differently in order to reveal this or that element that had remained unnoticed and thereby develop unexpected meanings. La Fontaine’s Fables put into vignettes by François Chauveau, therefore, within the collection of Aesop’s Fables put into verse by M. de La Fontaine.
