Les Saltimbanks Painting by Gustave Dore (1832-1883), 1874 - Clermont Ferrand
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Gustave Dore's masterpiece, "Les Saltimbanks". Painted in 1874, this artwork is housed in the Musee d'Art Roger Quilliot in Clermont-Ferrand. The image showcases a scene filled with intrigue and emotion. In this painting, we are transported to a world of circus performers and nomadic wanderers. A young child stands at the center, surrounded by an array of characters including an owl, a raptor, and even a dog. Their expressions convey both sadness and curiosity as they engage in a card game. The theme of clairvoyance is evident through the presence of cartomancy symbols scattered throughout the composition. It hints at predictions and hidden truths that lie within their lives. Amidst all these elements lies a family unit – parents disguised as saltimbanques or traveling entertainers. The pain etched on their faces suggests past injuries endured during their nomadic journey. Gustave Dore skillfully captures the complexity of childhood experiences intertwined with familial bonds. This painting serves as a poignant reminder that life's hardships can be masked behind smiles and disguises. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are invited to reflect on our own journeys – both physical and emotional – while contemplating themes such as youth, family dynamics, and the resilience found within
