1783 1842 Etching Henri Marie Real Beyle Stendhal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching captures the enigmatic and intellectual figure of Marie-Henri Beyle, better known by his pen name Stendhal, one of the most influential French writers of the 19th century. Born in Grenoble in 1783, Stendhal's literary career began in earnest after serving in the Napoleonic Wars. He is best known for his novels "The Red and the Black" and "The Charterhouse of Parma," which offer insightful commentary on French society during the Restoration period. The etching, created in 1842, the year of Stendhal's death, captures the writer in deep thought, with a furrowed brow and intense gaze. The intricately detailed lines and shading of the etching bring out the subtle textures of Stendhal's face, adding to the sense of depth and complexity. The artist has skillfully depicted the folds of Stendhal's clothing, revealing the rich textures and colors of the fabric. Stendhal's literary contributions were groundbreaking in their exploration of human emotions and motivations, and his works continue to be celebrated for their psychological insight and social commentary. This etching serves as a fitting tribute to the enduring legacy of this literary giant, offering a glimpse into the mind of a man who was as captivating and complex as the characters he brought to life on the page.
