EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Champfleury, a renowned French critic and novelist from the 19th century. Taken around 1855 by the talented photographer Nadar, this woodburytype image showcases Champfleury's distinctive facial hair - a thick mustache that adds to his intellectual allure. Champfleury, born Jules Francois Felix Fleury-Husson, was an influential literary figure in France during his time. His work as a critic and writer contributed greatly to the development of French literature and art. In this portrait, he exudes an air of confidence and wisdom, with his piercing gaze capturing the essence of his intellect. The photograph is part of "Galerie Contemporaine Litteraire, Artistique" a periodical published in 1878. It offers us a glimpse into the world of French intellectuals during that era. The image has been preserved over time at the Art Institute Chicago, adding to its historical significance. Nadar's skillful composition highlights not only Champfleury's physical appearance but also hints at his profession as a writer. This portrait invites viewers to delve deeper into Champfleury's literary contributions and explore the rich cultural landscape of 19th-century France. With this print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of both Champfleury's lasting impact on French literature and Nadar's mastery behind the lens.
