- Jean de La Fontaine began his collection of fables " Les fables de La Fontaine " with the story " La Cigale et la Fourmi " ( " The Cicada and the Ant " ) based on one of Aesop's fables : in it the cicada spends the summer singing while the ant stores away food, and finds herself without food when the weather turns bitter.
- Because of the influence of La Fontaine's Fables, in which " La cigale et la fourmi " stands at the beginning, the cicada then became the proverbial example of improvidence in France : so much so that Jules-Joseph Lefebvre ( 1836 1911 ) could paint a picture of a female nude biting one of her nails among the falling leaves and be sure viewers would understand the point by giving it the title " La Cigale ".
