EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up image showcases a colour mixing stone that once belonged to the renowned French resistance leader, Jean Moulin. The stone, dating back to the 1910s or 1920s, is an intriguing artifact that offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable figure before his heroic involvement in the French Resistance during World War II. Jean Moulin, born Jean Pierre Moulin in 1910, was an accomplished painter before he dedicated himself to the resistance. This colour mixing stone, with its intricate patterns and rich hues, is a testament to his artistic past. The stone's surface, worn from years of use, reveals the various shades and tints that Moulin blended to create his masterpieces. The exact origin of this stone is unknown, but it is believed to have been part of Moulin's personal painting equipment during the 1910s and 1920s. It is now a cherished piece in the collection of the Musée de la Libération de Paris, one of the city's most esteemed museums dedicated to French history and heritage. This stone, with its historical significance and artistic value, is a unique blend of France's rich cultural heritage and the personal story of an extraordinary man. It serves as a reminder of Jean Moulin's diverse talents and the profound impact he had on French history, both as a painter and as a resistance leader.
