Les Fables de La Fontaine, 1881/1886, is a significant series of watercolor illustrations created by the renowned French Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau. This collection of works was inspired by the timeless fables of Jean de La Fontaine, a 17th-century French fabulist and poet whose stories have been celebrated for their moral lessons and vivid characterizations. Moreau's illustrations for La Fontaine's fables are notable for their intricate detail, imaginative compositions, and the artist's unique ability to blend mythological and fantastical elements with the narrative simplicity of the fables.

Gustave Moreau, known for his fascination with myth and legend, approached the project with a deep appreciation for La Fontaine's ability to convey complex human emotions and ethical dilemmas through animal characters and allegorical tales. The series, created over several years from 1881 to 1886, showcases Moreau's mastery in watercolor, a medium that allowed him to achieve a delicate balance of color and light, enhancing the ethereal quality of his illustrations.

Each illustration in the series is a testament to Moreau's meticulous attention to detail and his skill in rendering both the natural world and the fantastical realms. The artist's use of rich, vibrant colors and intricate patterns draws viewers into the enchanting world of La Fontaine's fables, where animals speak, and moral truths are revealed through their adventures and misadventures.

Moreau's Les Fables de La Fontaine not only pays homage to the literary genius of La Fontaine but also stands as a remarkable example of 19th-century French art. The series reflects the broader Symbolist movement's preoccupation with dreams, myths, and the exploration of the human psyche. Today, these illustrations are celebrated for their artistic beauty and their ability to bring La Fontaine's timeless stories to life in a visually captivating manner.
