EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Jules Claretie, a renowned French writer, impresario, and director of the Comédie-Française, in an elegant and thoughtful pose. Taken in 1885, during the height of his illustrious career, Claretie's refined demeanor and intellectual air are evident in this striking image. Born in 1840, Claretie began his literary career as a journalist and later became a prolific playwright, contributing over 150 plays to the Comédie-Française repertoire. In 1880, he was appointed the director of the esteemed theater institution, a position he held until his retirement in 1911. Under Claretie's leadership, the Comédie-Française experienced a renaissance, with a focus on modernizing the repertoire and attracting new audiences. He also championed the works of contemporary writers, including Paul Claudel and Maurice Maeterlinck, ensuring that the theater remained a vital force in French cultural life. Claretie's influence extended beyond the Comédie-Française, as he was also an influential figure in French literary and intellectual circles. He was a close friend of notable writers such as Anatole France, Alphonse Daudet, and Gustave Flaubert, and his salon was a gathering place for the literary elite of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping French literature and theater during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With his piercing gaze and confident posture, Claretie appears as a visionary leader, dedicated to preserving and advancing the artistic legacy of the Comédie-Française.
