” Peasant woman with chickens”

The countryside is that strange place where chickens run around raw” (Charles Baudelaire)

This brilliant aphorism by Baudelaire is a subtle paradox of how we have become so accustomed to buying poultry and poultry products without being aware of their existence in their natural environment; on the contrary, until not so many decades ago, chickens were an indispensable presence in every context of rural culture.
