Paul Verlaine II, 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white etching by Anders Leonard Zorn, showcasing the renowned Swedish artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. The portrait depicts the French poet Paul Verlaine, known for his contributions to the Symbolist movement in literature. Verlaine is depicted leaning on his elbow, his intense gaze fixed on an unseen point, adding to the enigmatic allure of the artwork. The poet is dressed in a high collar shirt, a scarf draped around his neck, and a fez perched atop his head. The tarboosh, a traditional Middle Eastern headdress, adds an unexpected element to the portrait, hinting at Verlaine's travels and eclectic interests. The poet's facial hair, consisting of a moustache and scruffy beard, further emphasizes his rugged and intellectual persona. The etching, created on cream wove paper, is a testament to Zorn's mastery of the realist artistic style. The intricate details in Verlaine's clothing and the subtle textures of his facial hair are rendered with remarkable precision. The portrait's monochromatic palette adds to its timeless quality, transporting us back to the 19th century and the literary world of Paul Verlaine. This evocative work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of literature, art, and the intersection of the two. It is currently housed in the Prints and Drawings department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The portrait of Paul Verlaine II, 1895, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Anders Leonard Zorn and the power of art to transport us through time and place.
