EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Portrait s'acheva en dépit de leurs remonstrances," or "The Portrait was completed despite their remonstrances," is a captivating image from the 19th century by the renowned French artist Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard, better known as Jean-Jacques Grandville. This enchanting plate is taken from his groundbreaking work, "Scenes de la Vie Privee et Publique des Animaux: Etudes des moeurs contemporaines" (Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals: Studies of Contemporary Morals), volume II. The photograph showcases an anthropomorphic monkey, seated at a desk with a magnifying glass in hand, intently focusing on a canvas. Surrounding him are various birds, including a crane and a flamingo, who appear to be in the midst of a heated discussion. A lectern and a scrutoire (a type of furniture used for reading) are also present in the scene. The monkey's determined expression and the birds' animated gestures convey a sense of tension and intrigue. The black-and-white, monochrome palette adds to the timeless and classic feel of the image. This artwork is a testament to Grandville's mastery of anthropomorphism, a literary and artistic style that attributes human characteristics and emotions to animals. The scene is reminiscent of the literary works of authors such as Alfred de Musset, Honore de Balzac, and Charles Nodier, who were contemporary to Grandville. The image invites viewers to ponder the themes of creativity, perseverance, and the complexities of human and animal behavior. This photograph is a valuable piece of heritage art, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic and literary history of France during the 19th century. It is a must-have for any art or literature enthusiast, and a fascinating addition to any collection.
