EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Paul Verlaine" and created by the renowned French artist Eugène Carrière in 1896, is a stunning example of Fin de Siècle Symbolism. The monochromatic lithograph in black from two stones on china paper laid down on cream wove paper chine colle, showcases Carrière's mastery of the lithotint technique. The image portrays the famous French poet Paul Verlaine, who was a leading figure in the Symbolist movement. Verlaine's direct gaze and balding, bearded head with a prominent mustache, convey a sense of introspection and wisdom. The artist's use of bold, contrasting lines and shadows adds depth and texture to the image, while the simple, uncluttered background draws the viewer's focus to the subject's face. This portrait is a testament to Carrière's ability to capture the essence of a man of letters, and a reminder of the rich literary and artistic heritage of the late 19th century. The portrait is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
