EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Edme Champion, known as the 'man in the little blue coat'" was painted by the renowned French artist Charles Auguste Guillaume Steuben in 1831. The subject of the painting is Edme Champion, a prominent philanthropist and a man of great distinction in 19th century France. Edme Champion is depicted here wearing a simple blue coat, which has become his signature look and earned him the nickname 'man in the little blue coat'. The portrait showcases Champion's bald head, piercing direct gaze, and a serious expression, giving an air of wisdom and authority. The oil painting on canvas, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to Steuben's mastery of the medium. The portrait was completed during the Romantic era, a time when individuality and emotion were celebrated in art. Edme Champion was a well-known figure in Parisian society, known for his philanthropic endeavors and his commitment to helping the less fortunate. He was a generous benefactor to various institutions, including hospitals and schools, and his legacy continues to be celebrated in France. This portrait, now housed in the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, is a valuable addition to the country's rich artistic heritage. It not only captures the likeness of a significant historical figure but also provides a glimpse into the fashion trends and artistic styles of the 19th century. The painting's enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us to a bygone era.
