Raymond Peynet was the most popular illustrator in France in the 20th century, and has several museums in France and Japan. He depicts the love between lovers, and small animals, trees, and flowers are always drawn around them. Peynet's works have a message of love and peace, and empathy with small animals and plants leads to environmental protection. In Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a sculpture of lovers by Peynet is placed as a symbol of world peace. This original etching print was produced in France as part of a series in 1978. It is of course new. It has sold out in France, and only second-hand copies are available on the market. For information on Peynet's museums, please see the following website.

[Work description]
In Greek mythology, the god of cattle, Pan, was chased by a monster and jumped into a river to transform into a fish, but only his tail remained. It is said that Zeus saw Pan and raised him to the sky as the Capricorn. Capricorns are said to be serious and realistic, with a strong will to persevere in anything and see it through to the end.
In mythology, the lower half of Capricorn is a fish, but in Peine's Capricorn, it is a conch shell floating in the air. The lovers embrace each other and enter the conch shell together, enjoying an aerial stroll. Cupid, who is thought to have brought the lovers together, holds an umbrella over them. The goat and his lovers seem to be quite high up, with stars raining down on their heads and the moon and the city of Earth visible far below. The woman clings onto the man with all her might. Is it out of love for the man, or is she afraid of falling out of the shell airship? The woman is likely entrusting herself to the steady and reliable Capricorn man with peace of mind.
Gallery Adeka Yasuhiro Takeda
Around 1992, Galerie Adeka purchased 5,000 copies from Alexandre Tocart, the nephew of Raymond Peynet's publisher Muret (who collaborated with Raymond Peynet to produce prints by Raymond Peynet that Raymond Peynet hand-signed), and the representative of the French distributor of those prints (Editions des Cercles).
Mr. and Mrs. Takeda of the Galerie Adeka and Mr. and Mrs. Tokar of Editions des Cercles, the publisher of Raymond Peynet's original lithograph prints, in Nice ⇓
Yasuhiro Takeda, the owner of Galerie Adeka, graduated from the University of Montpellier in the south of France, and Alexandre Tokar was also from Montpellier and was his junior at the university. Galerie Adeka began to focus on selling Raymond Peynet prints, starting with their friendship with Alexandre Tokar.
Galerie Adeka ran the Gallery Vingt de France at Karuizawa Prince Hotel for 20 years from 1995 to 2015, and is therefore on friendly terms with the Peynet Museum, also located in Karuizawa. To promote exchanges between the Karuizawa Peynet Museum and the Raymond Peynet and Humorous Artists Museum in Antibes, southern France, Galerie Adeka was sent by the Karuizawa Peynet Museum to continue to exchange with the Peynet Museum in Antibes and Raymond Peynet's daughter, Annie Peynet.
Raymond Peynet's world of painting depicts a paradise where small animals and plants happily coexist, with the love between lovers at its center. In the 21st century, where environmental destruction and war continue, Raymond Peynet's paintings of love and peace seem to be a message to the modern age. By coming into contact with Raymond Peynet's world surrounded by peace, love and gentle nature, I hope that you will develop peace and love in your heart and a heart that cherishes nature, animals and plants, our fellow members of the earth.
