EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, a man who played multiple roles in French history. In this portrait, taken in 1956, we see Brillat-Savarin depicted as a Deputy in the National Assembly during the tumultuous year of 1789 at Versailles. Brillat-Savarin's life was marked by significant upheaval and change. Initially a lawyer and politician, he found himself caught up in the fervor of the French Revolution. Forced to flee into exile due to political turmoil, he eventually returned to France under the Directory government in 1797. However, it is his later pursuits that have truly solidified his place in history. After his return, Brillat-Savarin became renowned for his passion for food and gastronomy. He embraced an epicurean lifestyle and became known as one of France's most prominent gastronomes. In this image, we see Brillat-Savarin wearing a wig typical of eighteenth-century fashion. His expression exudes wisdom and determination as he gazes directly at the viewer. The monochrome setting adds an air of timelessness to this portrait. This print serves as a testament to both Brillat-Savarin's political career during revolutionary times and his subsequent contributions to culinary culture. It offers us a glimpse into an era when politics intertwined with personal passions like food appreciation – reminding us that even amidst chaos, individuals can find solace in their interests and leave lasting legacies behind them.
