Painting Description
Gabriel Joseph Marie Augustin Ferrier's painting "Henri of Orleans 1822-97 Duke of Aumale and Alfred Cuvillier Fleury 1802-87 his Secretary in the Cabinet des Livres at Chantilly" is a significant work that captures a moment in the lives of two prominent 19th-century French figures. Henri of Orléans, Duke of Aumale, was a distinguished military leader, historian, and art collector, known for his extensive contributions to French cultural heritage. Born in 1822, he was the fifth son of King Louis-Philippe I and became one of the wealthiest men in France after inheriting the vast fortune of his godfather, the last Prince of Condé. His passion for art and literature led him to amass an extraordinary collection of books, manuscripts, and artworks, which he housed in the Château de Chantilly.
Alfred Cuvillier-Fleury, born in 1802, was a respected literary critic, historian, and the Duke's private secretary. His intellectual prowess and dedication to literature made him an invaluable asset to the Duke, particularly in managing the extensive library known as the Cabinet des Livres at Chantilly. This library was one of the most significant private collections of its time, containing rare manuscripts, incunabula, and an impressive array of printed books.
The painting by Ferrier, an accomplished artist of the 19th century, is a testament to the close professional relationship between the Duke and his secretary. It depicts them in the opulent setting of the Cabinet des Livres, surrounded by the treasures of the Duke's collection. The artwork not only highlights the grandeur of the library but also underscores the intellectual and cultural pursuits that defined the lives of both men. Through Ferrier's meticulous attention to detail and composition, the painting offers a glimpse into the scholarly environment of the Château de Chantilly and the collaborative efforts that contributed to the preservation and celebration of French cultural heritage.
