EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century albumen print captures the enigmatic figure of Luce Maximilien, a 36-year-old artist-painter and anarchist hailing from Paris VIIe. The monochromatic image, taken by renowned photographer Alphonse Bertillon, showcases Maximilien's striking features and rebellious spirit. With his thick beard and intense gaze, he exudes an air of defiance that resonates with the political climate of the time. Bertillon's expertise in anthropometry is evident in this mugshot-like portrait. Through meticulous measurements and analysis of facial features, he sought to establish a scientific approach to criminal identification. Maximilien's arrest on July 6th, 1894 adds intrigue to his story - was it due to his political beliefs or involvement in some other crime? Beyond its historical significance as a document of law enforcement practices during that era, this photograph also serves as a testament to the power of art. Maximilien's occupation as an artist reflects his creative spirit and perhaps hints at how art can be used as a form of resistance against societal norms. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this black-and-white print invites viewers into a world where politics intersected with portraiture. It offers us glimpses into both personal identity and broader social movements while reminding us that even through the passage of time, individuals like Luce Maximilien continue to captivate our imagination with their stories etched onto photographic paper.
