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, Zeus, the Greek god, transformed himself into a bull to kidnap Europa, the daughter of the Phoenician king, and that bull is said to represent Taurus. Taurus people have a calm, peaceful personality and are cooperative, but also have a strong will and perseverance. They are also blessed with sensitivity and love to own beautiful things, so they are said to have strong materialistic desires.
A large carousel is depicted in the center, and in the center of the carousel a bull is carrying the lovers. It's not a carousel, but a spinning bull. The roof is supported by two pairs of trees with their leaves gone. Small birds are perched on the trees, as if they are blessing the lovers. In the center of the roof, a human face resembling the sun and moon is depicted, and underneath it the world seems to be depicted, with buildings in Venice, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, temples in Athens, as well as mountains and trees. The lovers are probably riding the bull to travel around the world. A bull dressed in a suit stands on the top of the roof, dragging a gold flag. Is it a guide for the lovers on their world trip?

Karuizawa Peinet Museum Brochure
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.
