EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Vautrin, a character from Honore de Balzac's renowned novel "Splendeurs et Miseres des Courtisanes". Published in 1867 as part of Balzac's larger work, La Comedie Humaine, this engraving showcases the complexity and intrigue surrounding Vautrin. In the image, we see Vautrin disguised as a priest, his face partially hidden by smoke emanating from his pipe. The artist skillfully portrays the duality of this enigmatic character - on one hand, he appears religious and pious; on the other hand, there is an air of mystery that suggests something more sinister lies beneath. Vautrin's costume hints at his ability to deceive others effortlessly. As a former convict known as Jacques Collin or Trompe-la-Mort (Death-Deceiver), he navigates both high society and the underworld with ease. This illustration beautifully captures his cunning nature and complex personality. Balzac masterfully crafted characters like Vautrin within his literary masterpiece to explore themes of power dynamics, morality, and societal constraints. Through this image, we are transported into Balzac's world - a world where splendors coexist with miseries in equal measure. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking portrait captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of Balzac's enduring legacy as one of France's greatest writers. It serves as a testament to the lasting impact literature
