Description

« The faun » is a mythological character that appears in Greek philosophy and has links to Hermeticism and the symbolism of the Hierophant in the Tarot. In Greek philosophy, the faun is associated with nature, sensuality and the joy of living. He is often represented as a being half-man, half-beast, with horns and a goat's tail. This mythological character is linked to the goddess Diana and the god Pan, both of whom are associated with nature and fertility. From a Hermetic perspective, the faun can be seen as a symbol of instinctual consciousness and connection with nature. He represents the part of the human being that is in contact with the unconscious and with the forces of nature. In Kantian philosophy, the faun can be seen as a symbol of the tension between reason and sensuality. According to Kant, reason is the faculty that allows us to understand the world and rise above nature, while sensuality is the faculty that connects us to nature and our instincts. The faun, with his half-man, half-beast nature, represents this tension between reason and sensuality. Finally, regarding the symbolism of Millet's paintings, the faun can be seen as a symbol of the connection with nature and the simplicity of peasant life. Millet's paintings, such as "The Gleaners" or "The Angelus", often depict peasants working the land and in contact with nature. The faun, with its presence in these paintings, can be seen as a symbol of the connection with nature and the simplicity of peasant life. Regarding the Hierophant, he can be seen as a symbol of spiritual guidance and the transmission of knowledge. The Hierophant is often depicted as a wise and learned figure, who holds the secrets of nature and the universe. The faun, with his connection to nature and his sensuality, can be seen as a symbol of the part of the human being that is in contact with the unconscious and with the forces of nature, while the Hierophant represents the part of the human being that is in contact with reason and spirituality. 2160 x 3840 px / 4k mp4 / 59 s / 135 Mo / 12 fps 78 éditions : pièce / Card N° 05/78 : Collection #tarot a subrealist tribute based on the masterpiece by : Un Vanneur - Jean-François Millet - (1814-1875) Original works On view at : Paris, musée d'Orsay
