Grand chemin de la postérité" (Grand Way of Posterity): A Caricatured Procession of French Literary and Artistic Luminaries by Benjamin Roubaud This print, titled "Grand chemin de la postérité" (Grand Way of Posterity), offers a humorous and insightful glimpse into the literary and artistic scene of mid-19th century France. Created by the renowned caricaturist Benjamin Roubaud between 1840 and 1847, this intriguing work features a procession of prominent French writers and artists, each depicted in a caricatured and often satirical manner. The parade begins with Victor Hugo, the renowned poet and playwright, followed by Théophile Gauthier, a poet and literary critic. Next in line is Jules de Goncourt, Cassagnac, Francis Wey, Paul Fouchard, and Eugène Sue, all prominent figures in the literary world. Among the artists, we find Eugène Delacroix's brother, Charles-François, as well as Eugène Delacroix himself, depicted as "Le critique Marie." The procession continues with Alexandre Dumas, who gained fame for his swashbuckling novels, and Victor Hugo's wife, Adèle Hugo, known as "Madame Ancelot." Other notable figures include Alphonse de Lamartine, Alexandre Dumas' son, Alexandre Dumas fils, and the playwright Eugène Scribe. The caricatures range from gentle jabs to more exaggerated portrayals, offering a unique perspective on the personalities and quirks of these influential figures. The print serves as a fascinating snapshot of the literary and artistic landscape of the time, providing a glimpse into the lives and works of some of France's most celebrated authors and artists. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the enduring influence of its literary and artistic luminaries. It is a must-have for any collection focusing on French literature, art, or cultural history.
