EDITORS COMMENTS
Anders Leonard Zorn's captivating portrait of Paul Verlaine II, created in 1895, offers a glimpse into the world of late 19th-century literature and art. The Swedish artist masterfully captured the intensity and depth of the French poet's gaze, as he leans on his elbow, looking directly at the viewer with a thoughtful expression. Verlaine's apparel reflects the artistic movements of the time, with a fez sitting atop his unkempt beard and a tarboosh resting beside him. The poet's clothing, consisting of a long-sleeved shirt and a flowing robe, adds to the overall sense of mystery and intrigue. This etching on off-white laid paper is a testament to Zorn's exceptional skill as a realist and symbolist artist. The black and white contrast enhances the dramatic effect of the image, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to explore the depths of Verlaine's soul. The portrait was created during a time when Verlaine was living in France, and the setting is evocative of the country's rich literary heritage. Paul Verlaine was a prominent figure in the Symbolist movement, known for his innovative use of language and exploration of emotion and sensory experience in his poetry. This portrait by Anders Leonard Zorn serves as a visual representation of Verlaine's artistic and literary legacy, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and literature. This etching is part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
