EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Gustave Flaubert, the renowned French writer who left an indelible mark on literature. Painted by Eugene Giraud in the 19th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures Flaubert's essence during two distinct periods of his life. The first painting, created circa 1865, depicts Flaubert in his mid-forties. With piercing eyes and a contemplative expression, he exudes an air of intellectual depth and introspection. The artist skillfully portrays the writer's passion for storytelling and his dedication to crafting literary masterpieces that would shape generations to come. In contrast, the second painting dates back to around 1845 when Flaubert was still in his early twenties. Here we witness a young man full of ambition and potential. Giraud expertly captures the youthful energy radiating from him as he embarks on his literary journey. Both paintings reflect not only Flaubert's physical appearance but also offer glimpses into his inner world—the struggles, triumphs, and creative spirit that fueled his writing. As we gaze upon these portraits today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the presence of one of France's most celebrated writers. Displayed at Musee et Domaine National de Versailles et de Trianon in Versailles, France, these paintings serve as a testament to Gustave Flaubert's enduring legacy within French literature and beyond.
