EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Gustave Flaubert, the renowned French novelist, was captured by the brilliant photographer Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, better known as Nadar, in the late 19th century. The photograph, taken around 1867, showcases Flaubert's introspective and intellectual nature, as he gazes off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. The image was captured using the albumin printing process, a popular photographic technique during that era. Flaubert, born in Rouen, Normandy, in 1821, is best known for his masterpieces "Madame Bovary" and "Sentimental Education." His works are characterized by their realistic portrayal of French society and the human condition. This portrait, however, offers a glimpse into the private world of the author, revealing his deep introspection and contemplative nature. Nadar, a pioneering figure in the world of photography, was known for his innovative techniques and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. In this portrait, he masterfully conveys the intellectual depth and complex character of Flaubert, making it an invaluable addition to the annals of literary and photographic history. The private collection where this portrait resides is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Flaubert and Nadar, and serves as a reminder of the power of art to capture the human spirit and preserve it for future generations.
