Tote bag "Orphée - 3", a tote bag paying homage to Guillaume Apollinaire's Bestiary, illustrated by Raoul Dufy

This "Orphée - 3" Tote bag is taken from Apollinaire’s Bestiary, illustrated by Raoul Dufy

Orpheus is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. This poem, rich in religious and mystical symbolism, refers to the spiritual quest of man and the search for a transcendent truth. Apollinaire, through these verses, compares divine love to a precious fish that we seek in the deep waters of the soul, and which embodies purity and salvation. This tote bag, inspired by this poetry, becomes a tribute to the spiritual dimension of the human quest and to the deep bond between man and nature.

Raoul Dufy illustrates Orpheus by the sea, surrounded by fish and marine animals. The illustration expresses the richness of the marine universe and Orpheus's symbolic quest, like a fisherman seeking divine truth. The marine animals, both mysterious and majestic, seem to represent primordial forces of nature. This bag, merging art and poetry, becomes a metaphor for spiritual search and connection with the mysteries of the universe.

Carry this bag to celebrate the spiritual quest and the search for truth. This tote bag is ideal for those who are sensitive to the religious and philosophical dimensions of life, as well as the idea of a profound connection between man and nature. An accessory that symbolizes the search for the divine in everyday life and the harmony between humanity and the cosmos.

Text of the poem:

Let your heart be the bait and the sky the pool!
Because, fisherman, what freshwater or marine fish
Does it equal, both in form and flavor,
This beautiful divine fish that is JESUS, My Savior?
