1846 1899 Banished Eminent Mounet Photographed Plotting Sebastian Sully Visited Deroulede
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment when the renowned French actor, Constant Coquelin, better known by his stage name Mounet-Sully, paid a visit to the exiled French statesman, Paul Deroulede, in San Sebastian, Spain, in 1899. Deroulede, born in 1846, was a prominent figure in French politics who was banished from his homeland for his role in a plot against the state. The photograph, dated between 1899 and 1914, depicts Deroulede, dressed in a heavy winter coat, sitting outside in the sunlit courtyard of his Spanish residence, deep in thought. Mounet-Sully, an esteemed actor of the Comédie-Française, approaches him with a warm and supportive expression, offering a moment of respite from Deroulede's long exile. The historical significance of this image lies in the juxtaposition of the two men - one a symbol of French political turmoil and the other a beacon of artistic excellence. Deroulede's banishment was a result of his involvement in the infamous Action Française movement, which sought to overthrow the French government and restore the monarchy. Mounet-Sully, on the other hand, was a celebrated actor who used his art to bring joy and entertainment to the French people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complexities of French political and cultural history during a time of great upheaval. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power of human connection and the enduring influence of art in times of adversity.
