"La Fable et la Vérité" (The Fable and the Truth) is a notable sculpture created by the French artist Lambert-Sigisbert Adam, also known as Adam l'Aîné (the Elder), in 1747. Born into a family of sculptors, Adam was renowned for his dynamic and expressive style, which was influenced by the Baroque tradition and anticipated the Rococo movement. This particular work exemplifies his skill in allegorical representation and his ability to imbue marble with a sense of life and movement.

The sculpture depicts the allegorical figures of Fable and Truth, personified as two women. The figure of Fable is shown in a dynamic pose, seemingly in the act of storytelling, which is characteristic of the deceptive nature of fables. In contrast, Truth is represented with a serene and stable demeanor, embodying the unchanging and eternal nature of truth. The interplay between the two figures is designed to highlight the tension and relationship between fiction and reality, a common theme in Enlightenment thought.

"La Fable et la Vérité" was commissioned by Madame de Pompadour, the influential mistress of King Louis XV, for her château at Bellevue. Adam's work was part of a larger cultural movement that sought to use art for didactic purposes, reflecting the intellectual currents of the time. The sculpture was well-received and contributed to Adam's reputation as a leading sculptor of his generation.

The piece is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the philosophical and cultural milieu of 18th-century France. It remains an important example of the transition between Baroque and Rococo art and provides insight into the role of sculpture in conveying complex intellectual ideas through allegory and symbolism. Today, "La Fable et la Vérité" is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Lambert-Sigisbert Adam and holds a place in the history of French sculpture.
