EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Edouard Lanteri, a renowned French sculptor and teacher, in 1898. The image showcases his distinguished profile, with a well-groomed moustache and beard framing his face. Lanteri's intense gaze reveals the depth of his artistic passion and intellect. The silverpoint on cardboard technique used to create this portrait adds an exquisite touch to the artwork. The delicate lines and intricate details bring out the artist's skillful hand in capturing Lanteri's likeness. Lanteri was not only a talented sculptor but also a respected writer and author during the Belle Époque era. He was known for his association with Auguste Rodin, another prominent figure in sculpture at that time. This photograph serves as a testament to their friendship and shared dedication to pushing boundaries within the new sculpture movement. Photographed by Adolphe Giraudon around 1900 at Musee national du Luxembourg, this print is now housed in Louvre (Cabinet de dessins), Paris, France. It offers us a glimpse into Lanteri's world during one of art history's most exciting periods. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry captured through photography, we are reminded of Edouard Lanteri's lasting impact on the art world as both an influential sculptor and esteemed educator.
