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, Sagittarius is said to represent the archer Chiron, a centaur with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, drawing his bow. Sagittarius people have a strong sense of adventure and exploration, think deeply about things, are not bound by preconceived notions, and act energetically and freely. They get excited easily and lose interest quickly, so they are also like love hunters who change their romantic partners one after another, so be careful.

A large tree that appears to be over 100 years old grows from the center of the bottom of the screen. The tree splits into several branches halfway down, which grow like ivy and draw a large circle with the leaves. Within the circle surrounded by the branches and leaves, many buildings that appear to be from the Middle Ages or ancient times are clustered together. One building appears to be the Roman amphitheater and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. In front of the tree is a man with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse, along with a woman holding a pouch. He is aiming an arrow at the woman, trying to win her heart, but the woman keeps her distance, perhaps wary of his fickle and shaky nature. The pouch the woman is holding may contain a secret weapon with which to counter him. Galerie Adeka Takeda Yasuhiro

Around 1992, Galerie Adesaka 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 personally signed), and the representative of the French distributor of those prints (Editions des Cercles).

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.
