This image showcases a color mixing stone, a cherished artifact belonging to the esteemed French Resistance leader, Jean Moulin. The stone, dating between 1919 and 1938, is an intriguing piece of both historical and artistic significance. Jean Moulin, born Jean Pierre Moulin, was a French civil servant and a key figure in the French Resistance during World War II. Before his heroic actions, however, he was an avid painter. This color mixing stone, a small, smooth, and weathered rock, would have been an essential tool in Moulin's painters' palette during his artistic pursuits in the 1910s and 1920s. The image offers a close-up view of the stone, revealing its unique character and the subtle signs of use. The stone's surface is marked with various hues, a testament to the myriad colors Moulin blended to create his art. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine Moulin's creative process and the artistic masterpieces he may have produced. Today, this humble artifact is preserved in the Musée de la Libération de Paris, a museum dedicated to the history of the French Resistance. It serves as a poignant reminder of Moulin's multifaceted personality and the enduring power of art and creativity, even amidst the tumultuous events of the 20th century.
