EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait medallion, titled "Faust and Marguerite" from the publication of "Faust" in 1828, is a masterpiece of collaborative artistry by Achille Deveria and Eugène Delacroix. The image, published as a lithograph in black on light pink wove paper, showcases the iconic figures from the tragic tale of Faust, a man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for youth and love. Achille Deveria, a French draftsman and painter, is responsible for the meticulous drawing of the figures. His skillful depiction of Faust and Marguerite is both evocative and symbolic, capturing the essence of their tragic romance. The intricate details of their clothing, facial expressions, and body language convey the depth of their emotions and the intensity of their connection. Eugène Delacroix, a renowned French painter, contributed his artistic vision to the project by providing the original sketches from which Deveria worked. Delacroix's influence is evident in the dynamic composition and the dramatic use of light and shadow. The contrast between the white and black areas creates a striking visual effect, enhancing the sense of depth and texture. This portrait medallion is a rare and valuable example of the collaborative efforts of two great artists. It is a testament to their artistic prowess and their ability to bring the timeless story of Faust and Marguerite to life. The image has been preserved in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
