"Drouet: A Tale of Art, Revolution, and Love" Step into the world of Drouet, a name that resonates through history with artistic brilliance and revolutionary fervor. From portraits capturing the essence of Juliette Drouet to depictions of significant moments in French history, this collection unveils the captivating story behind this enigmatic figure. In Voillemot's exquisite portrait from 1806-1883, we glimpse Juliette Drouet's soulful gaze and delicate features. Her allure is further immortalized by James Abbott McNeill Whistler in his sculpture from 1859. The chiseled beauty reflects both her strength as an actress and her profound connection with Victor Hugo. Speaking of Hugo, he himself finds solace in exile on Guernsey in 1866 alongside his beloved Juliette Drouet. Their bond radiates from Noel's evocative portrait from 1832; their love transcending time and distance. But it is not only romance that defines the legacy of Drouet. In an engraving depicting Louis XVI halted at Varennes by Jean-Baptiste Drouet, we witness a pivotal moment during the French Revolution when fate took its course. Similarly, another engraving showcases Drouet comparing faces on Assignat notes—a testament to his astute observation skills amidst political turmoil. The theatrical spirit within the family continues with Miss Juliette Drouet donning a suit for her role as Princess Negroni in Victor Hugo's play—an embodiment of passion brought to life on stage. James Abbott McNeill Whistler returns once more to capture Jean-Baptiste Drouet’s essence—his sculptural prowess evident even after his passing in 1824—in two striking pieces from 1859/1879 and 1889 respectively. These artworks pay homage to a man whose actions shaped history itself during those tumultuous times.
