Painting Description
The "Portrait-charge De Lamartine" is a notable caricature created by the French photographer and caricaturist Étienne Carjat. Étienne Carjat, born in 1828 and passing in 1906, was a prominent figure in the 19th-century French art scene, known for his photographic portraits and his satirical drawings. His works often captured the essence of his subjects with a blend of realism and exaggeration, making them both recognizable and humorously distorted.
This particular caricature features Alphonse de Lamartine, a distinguished French writer, poet, and politician. Lamartine, born in 1790 and dying in 1869, was a key figure in French literature and politics, particularly noted for his contributions to Romantic poetry and his role in the French Revolution of 1848. His literary works, such as "Méditations Poétiques," have left a lasting impact on French literature, while his political endeavors, including his brief tenure as the head of the French provisional government in 1848, marked significant moments in French history.
Carjat's caricature of Lamartine is a testament to his skill in capturing the personality and public perception of his subjects. The "Portrait-charge De Lamartine" exaggerates Lamartine's features, likely emphasizing his intellectual demeanor and perhaps his idealistic nature, traits that were well-known to the public. Carjat's ability to blend humor with a respectful nod to Lamartine's stature makes this caricature a valuable piece of historical and artistic significance.
The work is part of a broader collection of caricatures and portraits by Carjat, who was also a co-founder of the magazine "Le Diogène," which featured many of his satirical drawings. Through his art, Carjat provided a unique lens on the cultural and political figures of his time, offering insights that were both critical and celebratory. The "Portrait-charge De Lamartine" remains a notable example of Carjat's contribution to the art of caricature and the documentation of 19th-century French society.
