EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the distinguished figure of Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, the fourth president of France. Created in 1887 by Pierre Petit, a renowned French artist, this colour lithograph captures the essence and grandeur of Carnot's character. Dressed in an elegant white tie evening dress, complete with a tuxedo and dinner jacket, Carnot exudes sophistication and refinement. The striking red sash adorning his chest signifies his prestigious membership in the Legion of Honour, further emphasizing his status as a respected politician. Carnot's well-groomed beard adds to his dignified appearance while hinting at wisdom beyond his years. However, behind this composed facade lies a tragic fate - he was assassinated during his presidency. Despite its somber undertones, this portrait serves as a testament to Carnot's legacy and contribution to French politics. His succession after Jules Grevy demonstrates not only his capabilities but also highlights the turbulent political climate of that era. Displayed within Musee de la Ville de Paris at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this artwork is now part of public domain due to its age. Its availability for viewing allows us to appreciate both Petit's artistic talent and the historical significance embodied by President Carnot himself.
