EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Honore de Balzac, the renowned French novelist and playwright, as he is immortalized by the skilled hand of Chardon in the mid-19th century. Born in 1799, Balzac is considered one of the founding figures of European Realism, a literary movement that sought to depict the raw, unvarnished truths of everyday life. His extensive body of work, collectively known as La Comedie Humaine, offers a vivid and intricate portrayal of French society following the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. Balzac's distinctive appearance is captured in this enchanting image. His rotund figure, framed by a voluminous waistcoat and a black bowtie, is accentuated by his thick moustache and intense gaze. The artist, Chardon, masterfully conveys the depth and complexity of Balzac's character through this striking visual representation. The engraving also includes Balzac's signature, adding an authentic touch to this historical artifact. The date of this engraving is estimated to be around 1840, a time when Balzac's literary prowess was at its peak. His works, which include both short stories and novels, continue to captivate readers and inspire generations of writers. This image of Honore de Balzac serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and the profound impact he had on European literature.
