Le Hibbou (The Owl)

 This is a painting called,  Le Hibou [The Owl] by Felix Buhot. It was made in Valognes Normandy in 1847. The painting itself shows the evilness of how back in the days everyone seemed to see. An owl represents many different ideas in every country. For example, on the bottom of the drawing of the owl it says, "Pauca, Paucis". It's a phrase in Latin, meaning, "who benefits". It usually means to not sweat over the small things. But, together it has a different meaning like, "It is a wise man who speaks little." The painter Felix Buhot was an amazing young artist. This painting shows how the owl can represent as the underworld of evil. For example, the owl was used by witches itself symbolizing the bad vibes that were carried back in the days. It shows how everything around their surroundings is taken by the evil spirits. The atmosphere is surrounded by the evil darkness itself with all the fog. In my opinion in the painting is that an owl is a symbol of great importance for the lives of many individuals. An owl represents wisdom. The white owl is also symbolized spiritually. The painting is maybe a sign that in society the atmosphere here is being negatively influenced by the wrong decisions made by the people. A lesson showing that everyone should be wise on decisions. In the background you can see how everything that was once filled with beauty is now filled with negativity. Decisions reflects towards many individuals in the way were one can be socially impacted. For example, we have to be knowledgeable and learn from those lessons or teachings. So the owl itself is a significant symbolism that can fit into the life of individuals. So the painting "Le Hibou" is maybe a painting representing that one should be wise or else there's consequences or life lessons. The book that the owl is in front is another sign that we should use our common sense and the ability to know the fundamental truths in our lives for the better being.
