EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, we are transported back to the year 1853, where we find the renowned French authors Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt seated together in a box at the theatre. The image captures a moment of intense concentration as these literary brothers immerse themselves in the performance before them. Edmond Louis Antoine Huot de Goncourt, known for his contributions to literature and his establishment of the prestigious Académie Goncourt prize, sits beside his younger brother Jules Alfred. Their shared passion for writing is evident in their focused expressions, as they watch intently with absorbed attention. The composition exudes an air of sophistication and intellectualism, reflecting the esteemed status that both Edmond and Jules held within literary circles during their time. This photograph print offers us a glimpse into their world - a world filled with creativity, imagination, and profound storytelling. As we observe this historical snapshot from our present day vantage point, it serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left by these influential figures. Their dedication to literature continues to inspire writers around the globe today. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection but remains accessible through Bridgeman Images' archives. It stands as a testament to not only Edmond's and Jules' impact on French literature but also their lasting imprint on art history itself.
