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

The texts and illustrations of the book paint a lively picture of inhabitants and their trade in metropolitan France and its colonies. It sets the tone for panoramic literature a new genre coined by Walter Benjamin in Charles Baudelaire. A lyric poet at the height of capitalism. In addition to these portraits of the Français the contribution of a whole areopagus of great and small authors and illustrators S. Le Men La 'littérature panoramique' dans la genèse de la Comédie Humaine: Balzac et Les Français peints par eux-mêmes L'Année balzacienne 2002/1 No. 3 CAIRN includes some of the most renowned authors and cartoonists of the time each of whom made an original creation for the project. This protean fresco was directed by editor Léon Curmer already known for the publishing success of Paul et Virginie between 1836 and 1838. Curmer is represented here by an article L'éditeur in volume IV written by Elias Regnault. The latter takes example in Louis-Sebastien Mercier's Tableau de Paris published in 1781 whose vision is even further extended by the representation of French provinces in Les Français. Thanks to Curmer the work finds an even deeper meaning: the editor has widened his frame and instead of letting a few fleeting portraits get lost in the immense daily whirlwind that engulfs all things he has sought to bring together the most salient physiognomies of that time. S. Le Men Ibid. Curmer selected the authors and illustrators closest to the ones they depict: It is therefore a question of calling upon authors and illustrators who are wel Léon Curmer hardcover
