EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the intriguing life of Amélie Elie, a Parisian gigolette, or can-can dancer, who gained notoriety in the late 1800s following a violent altercation between her admirers. Known as "Casque d'Or" due to her distinctive golden headpiece, Elie was a moll, or mistress, to several Parisian gangsters, adding an element of danger and excitement to her allure. In this image, Elie is depicted being painted by Albert Depre, a well-known French artist of the time. The scene is set in a dimly lit studio, with Depre intently focusing on his subject, while Elie poses seductively, her golden headpiece glinting in the soft light. The tension between the artist's intense concentration and Elie's playful expression adds to the intrigue of the image. The fight between Elie's admirers, which occurred in 1880, was a significant event in Parisian society at the time. The rival gangsters, who were vying for Elie's affections, clashed in a violent brawl in the heart of the city, causing a stir among the Parisian elite. Elie's involvement in the incident only added to her reputation, and she became a symbol of the decadence and excitement of Parisian life in the late 19th century. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of Parisian nightlife and the complex relationships that existed between the city's most notorious figures. Depre's painting captures Elie's beauty and allure, while also hinting at the danger and intrigue that surrounded her.
