1852713631852. Fine. 13 septembre 1852 12.20 x 19 cm une feuille Long autograph letter signed by the archaeologist and curator of antiquities at the Louvre Museum Adrien de Longpérier to a journalist 4 pages on a folded sheet. In this fascinating letter about Eugène Delacroix the curator of Egyptian antiquities Longpérier castigates a journalist author of a harsh critique of the painter's ceiling at the Galerie d'Apollon in the Louvre: ""mais quand il s'agit seulement d'un plafond fait pour une galerie roccoco quand du reste j'ai reconnu que cet ouvrage produit un excellent effet décoratif que le ton général est parfaitement adapté à la place et qu'outre cela le tableau contient un certain noombre de détails traités avec un véritable talent je ne vois pas la nécessité d'aller attaquer très vivement très rudement non seulement l'oeuvre mais encore la personne de l'artiste"" ""but when it concerns merely a ceiling made for a rococo gallery when moreover I have recognized that this work produces an excellent decorative effect that the general tone is perfectly adapted to the place and that besides this the painting contains a certain number of details treated with real talent I do not see the necessity of going to attack very vigorously very harshly not only the work but also the person of the artist"". Delacroix had created a composition entitled Apollon terrassant Python for the gallery built under Louis XIV and newly restored under the Second Republic. In the midst of the Romantics' quarrel Longpérier also mentions Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres himself the author of a ceiling at the Louvre L'apothéose d'Homère: ""Comme vous avez l'imprudence de mettre le plafond d'Homère en parallèle avec celui d'Apollon vous n'eussiez pas pu empêcher que dans la discussion on ne s'en prit à votre vénérable ami. Croyez vous que si Ingres qui aime si peu la discussion vous eu su un bien grand gré de ces horizons que vous lui eussiez procurés . Imaginez-vous que vous ayez fait le sacrifice d'une somme assez considérable pour fonder un journal et que je vous apporte un article violent contre M. Ingres Je dis : imaginez car je suis moi un admirateur de M. Ingres et n'ai en aucune manière envie de le critiquer . Iriez-vous donner aide à celui qui voudrait le combattre "" ""Since you have the imprudence to put Homer's ceiling in parallel with that of Apollo you could not have prevented that in the discussion people would attack your venerable friend. Do you believe that if Ingres who so dislikes discussion would have been very grateful to you for these horizons that you would have provided him . Imagine that you had made the sacrifice of a considerable sum to found a journal and that I bring you a violent article against M. Ingres I say: imagine for I am myself an admirer of M. Ingres and have no desire whatsoever to criticize him . Would you go to aid the one who would want to fight him"". Ingres the painter representing the classical school had his preference unlike Delacroix the Romantic whose style he did not appreciate but whose human qualities he nevertheless recognized: ""J'ai reconnu que c'est un homme très doux très poli fort instruit et fort modeste . Je parle de l'homme ; quant à ses oeuvres elles sont plus ou moins bonnes. Il y en a même de fort mauvaises"" ""I have recognized that he is a very gentle man very polite well educated and very modest . I speak of the man; as for his works they are more or less good. There are even some very bad ones"". Longpérier speaks at length about the restoration work at the Louvre led by the architect Félix Duban who supervised the renovation of the Galerie d'Apollon and other major projects: ""Je verrais avec grand plaisir que vous fissiez sentir le mérite de la restauration de la galerie d'Apollon de la façade du jardin de l'infante de la façade d'Henri IV sur le quai et du plafond de la Salle des sept cheminées décoré avec tout de goût de f unknown

186514621Paris: Published by A. Cadart et Luquet 79 rue de Richelieu 1865. Etching. Printed on watermarked aqua-fortistes laid paper. State i/iii before letters with artist's name and date engraved in the upper left corner of plate. Monogram in upper right corner of plate. Full sheet in excellent condition. Image size: 7 7/8 x 6 1/6 inches. This stunning image is a rich proof impression of Delacroix's famous print "Juive d'Alger."<br/> <br/> In early 1832 Delacroix visited North Africa. He accompanied his friend the Count de Mornay on his good-will mission to the Sultan of Morocco Abd-er-Rahman II. This experience had a drastic influence on his art introducing an edge of brilliant realism into his majestic paintings and bold engravings. He filled countless sketchbooks with drawings and observations of Arab life and gathered a wealth of ideas that served him for the rest of his life. This sumptuous etching is inspired by Delacroix's travels in North Africa and is considered one of his greatest prints. Assigned to the delegation as dragoman was Abraham-Ben-Chimol of Tangiers a Jew who introduced Delacroix to his wife Saada and daughter. Delacroix was greatly influenced by this encounter and he did a number of images depicting young Jewish women in simple interiors. This breathtaking image depicts a young Jewish woman in traditional dress seated in a simple room; she is accompanied by an Algerian woman who is seated on the floor beside her. The leader of the French Romantic movement Delacroix is widely considered to be one of the greatest French painters in history but he is also one the most hailed printmakers of the modern age. The simple lines and bold textures of this monumental print delineate Delacroix's genius and distinguish him as a true master of his art. This is an exceptional early impression of this important print executed before the published title and publication details were added. Included in one of the first collections of the Society de Aqua-Fortistes publications by Cadart this print is extremely rare in this early state. With its rich dark tones and fresh details this is a magnificent example of Delacroix's work and a true collector's item. Between 1862 and 1866 the Societe des Aqua-Fortistes produced a five-volume collection of artists' etchings entitled "Eaux-Fortes Modernes." Printed on laid paper made especially for the series this outstanding collection is one of the seminal publications to spring out of the etching revival in France. The Societe des Aqua-Fortistes was the French equivalent of the Etching Club in England and similarly it aimed to produce a collection of high quality etchings by the leading artists of the period. Like the Etching Club the Societe des Aqua-Fortistes sought to raise the prestige of the medium from a reproductive technique to a fine art. Although the etching revival began somewhat earlier in England the French movement exerted a far greater influence on the medium and included a wider range of prominent artists. The Barbizon painters were among the earliest French artists to participate in the etching revival and their superb prints helped raise the medium to new heights of genius. This unique publication which included works by Manet Corot and Delacroix is an outstanding example of fine art printing at its best<br/> <br/> Delteil Le Peintre-Gravure Illustre vol.

185086760Champrosay 1850. Fine. I am madly in love with these innocent and beautiful trees while human nature on the other hand falls every day in my esteem. Champrosay s. d. 1840-1860 13.50 x 20.10 cm une page sur un feuillet remplié Autograph letter signed by the painter Eugène Delacroix to his friend Baron Félix Feuillet de Conches master of protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under Charles X and Louis-Philippe. One page in black ink on a folded sheet with the autograph address on the verso. Traces of seal and postal stamps dated October 7. The painter writes to his friend Feuillet de Conches a distinguished man of letters whose works were well received and who also amassed an elegant collection of art and autographs in his apartment on the rue Neuve-des-Mathurins the address of this very letter. A charming and witty missive in which Delacroix expresses his enchantment with country life far removed from the bustle of Paris. ""From the summer of 1844 Eugène Delacroix settled at Champrosay on the edge of the Sénart forest near Paris. There he recorded in his journal the impressions inspired by his regular walks through the countryside. He produced numerous sketches later reworked into his large compositions as well as more ambitious landscapes that reveal how in his mature and later years the observation of nature now contemplated for its own sake had become central to his art."" MuMa ""I reply to you late dear Feuillet but you will forgive me: I promise you a Gros very happy to add it to the collection. I pity you for living far from the fields. If we were still in the time of Ovids Metamorphoses I might believe myself in danger of one day being turned into a tree. I am mad about these innocent and beautiful trees while human nature on the other hand loses each day in my esteem. I except of course friends like you and the few who retain a little reason.I embrace you while awaiting this winterEug. Delacroix."" unknown
