EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures Alexandre Lenoir, a renowned French archaeologist, passionately opposing the destruction of the royal tombs of the French monarchy in the Church of Saint-Denis. Created by Pierre Joseph Lafontaine, this pen and ink masterpiece measures 23x21.5 cm and is housed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France. Lenoir's resolute stance against demolishing the tomb of Louis XII and Anne de Bretagne is evident in his determined expression and commanding presence. As curator of the Musee des Monuments Francais, he dedicated his life to preserving France's cultural heritage during a time when revolutionary fervor threatened to erase centuries-old symbols. This portrait showcases Lenoir as a symbol himself - an advocate for history and art amidst chaos. The image highlights his distinctive hat, emphasizing his role as a male figurehead during this turbulent period marked by the French Revolution. His affiliation with sans culottes - ordinary citizens who supported radical change - further underscores his commitment to protecting funerary monuments from destruction. Through this photograph, we witness Lenoir's unwavering dedication to safeguarding monarchic remnants from being erased from history forever. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of upheaval, there are individuals who rise above societal currents to protect our collective pasts. This powerful image invites us to reflect on our own responsibility towards preserving cultural treasures for future generations.
