EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic duo of Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud during their time in London, 1872. The pen and ink drawing by Felix Elie Regamey beautifully depicts the two renowned French poets engaged in deep conversation while taking a leisurely stroll through the city streets. In this intimate portrait, Verlaine and Rimbaud are seen walking side by side, exuding an air of intellectual camaraderie. They both don stylish hats, with Verlaine holding a cigar between his fingers and Rimbaud elegantly puffing on a pipe. Their attire reflects their bohemian lifestyle - unconventional yet undeniably chic. The presence of a policeman in the background adds an intriguing element to the composition. It hints at the controversial nature of their relationship as openly homosexual individuals in that era. Despite societal constraints, they fearlessly embraced their love for each other, challenging norms with every step they took together. Regamey's skillful rendering brings out not only their physical features but also captures the essence of their friendship. The lines on their faces reveal years of shared experiences and artistic pursuits. This remarkable artwork serves as a poignant reminder of these literary giants who left an indelible mark on French poetry. It immortalizes Verlaine and Rimbaud's bond as they navigate life's complexities hand-in-hand, forever united through artistry and love.
