EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic figure of Jules Amedee Barbey d'Aurevilly, a prominent French romantic writer and critic from the 19th century. With his distinctive striped cape draped over his shoulders, he exudes an air of theatricality and aristocratic charm. The striking moustache that adorns his upper lip adds to his charismatic presence. As one gazes at this portrait, it becomes evident that d'Aurevilly was not just a man of words but also a master of style. His cloak envelops him like a symbol of mystery and intrigue, hinting at the depth and complexity of his literary works. This photograph captures the essence of an author who effortlessly embodied both elegance and intellect. Dressed impeccably as befits an aristocrat, d'Aurevilly's refined demeanor reflects his place in high society. Yet beneath this polished exterior lies a rebellious spirit that challenged societal norms through his writings. Known for pushing boundaries with provocative themes, he became renowned for his daring exploration into forbidden territories. The photographer, A. Melandri skillfully captures these contrasting facets within d'Aurevilly's persona through this timeless image. It serves as a window into the world inhabited by this influential figure whose impact on literature continues to resonate today. This remarkable photograph is now part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to eArchives Charmet and Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical art
