DAVIDSON, M.A (Formerly Scholar of Keble College, Oxford) "Vastus animus immoderata, incredibilia, Nimis alta semper cupiebat." (Sallust, Catilina V) PHILADELPHIA J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY Ltd Westminster : ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & CO 1902 Butler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome, and London. ^l&'il^li — Preface IT may be—to be exact, it is—a somewhat presumptuous thing to write a book and call it Alexandre Dumas. There is no question here of introducing an unknown man or discovering an unrecognized genius. Dumas is, and has been for the better part of a century, the property of all the world : there can be little new to say about one of whom so much has already been said. Remembering also, as I do, a dictum by one of our best known men of letters to the effect that the adequate biographer of Dumas neither is nor is likely to be, I accept the saying at this moment with all the imfeigned humility which experience entitles me to claim. My own behef on this point is that, if we could conceive a writer who combined in himself the anecdotal facility of Suetonius or Saint Simon, with the loaded brevity of Tacitus and the judicial irony of Gibbon, such an one might essay the task with a reasonable prospect of success—though, after all, the probability is that he would be quite out of S5nnpathy with Dumas.

  • Louis BOULANGER (Vercelli, Piémont, 1806 – Dijon, 1867) Faust Dans
    Louis BOULANGER (Vercelli, Piémont, 1806 – Dijon, 1867) Faust dans son cabinet Vers 1833 Huile sur toile d’origine H. 46 cm ; L. 32,5 cm Annoté à deux reprises au dos à l’encre sur le châssis et sur une étiquette : « 3. Faust, peinture de Boulanger provenant de la collection de Victor Hugo ». Par ce tableau représentant Faust dans son cabinet, Louis Boulanger illustre l'un des aspects du mouvement romantique des années 1830. Il renoue en effet, par le choix du thème, avec la culture médiévale, l'une des sources privilégiées du Romantisme. Celle-ci sera redécouverte et remise à l'honneur autant par les peintres que par les écrivains, qui trouvent dans cette quête du passé, la nostalgie propre à leur inspiration personnelle. Cette transcription picturale ou littéraire du Moyen- Âge met alors en scène des événements réels et historiques ou des faits complètement légendaires, toujours replacés cependant dans un contexte moyenâgeux. L'école picturale romantique puisera dans un premier temps et, pendant les deux premières décennies du XIXème siècle, dans les ouvrages déjà existants mais souvent récemment traduits, de Walter Scott, Goethe, Schiller ou Shakespeare. De nouveaux thèmes, qui seront parallèlement popularisés par la peinture, vont ensuite être créés sous forme de romans, nouvelles ou pièces par les grands dramaturges français, Alexandre Dumas ou Victor Hugo surtout. Ces derniers incarnent justement cette nouvelle production littéraire, référence suprême des artistes troubadours. Louis Boulanger illustra d'ailleurs avec passion certaines œuvres de Victor Hugo, personnage qu'il vénéra toute sa vie avec dévotion, ayant eu l'occasion de faire sa connaissance grâce à l'un de ses maîtres, Achille Devéria.

  • Olivia VOISIN D'après Victor Hugo : Louis Boulanger Ou L'éloge De La
    D’APRÈS VICTOR HUGO : LOUIS BOULANGER OU L’ÉLOGE DE LA MONSTRUOSITÉ Durant toute sa vie, Louis Boulanger a lié son œuvre à celle de Victor Hugo à qui il a emprunté de nombreux sujets. Cependant, une série semble émerger entre 1828 et 1832, dans laquelle l’artiste donne vie à des créatures macabres d’après des textes de l’auteur. C’est en 1828 avec la lithographie de La Ronde du Sabbat , issue des Odes et Ballades qu’il inaugure ce corpus, avant de dessiner en 1829 la vignette de titre du poème « Les Djinns », gravée par Porret pour l’édition des Orientales chez Gosselin et Bossange, ainsi qu’une suite d’après les « Fantômes », à partir du même recueil, dont il donne deux lithographies et une aquarelle. En 1830 son choix se porte sur Le Dernier Jour d’un condamné dont il propose une lithographie, avant d’aborder en peinture en 1831 « Le Feu du ciel », poème des Orientales , dont il donne par la suite une lithographie. Ces œuvres constituent un ensemble éloquent sur l’intérêt que porte l’artiste à l’univers surnaturel de son ami Victor Hugo dont il fréquente assidûment le Cénacle et, loin d’être anodine, cette phase de l’œuvre de Boulanger engendre au contraire de nombreuses questions sur la place que peut tenir ce genre de sujet dans le panorama artistique de la fin des années 1820. Louis Boulanger y fait figure de chef d’école aux côtés de son ami et partenaire d’atelier Eugène Devéria après qu’ils eurent exposé - au Salon de 1827 - pour le dernier la Naissance d’Henri IV , tableau où le peintre ne cache pas son but de renouer avec la peinture vénitienne dans une approche très scénographique, et pour l’émule de Hugo un Mazeppa fondant son esthétique sur la tension que provoquent d’une part la fougue désespérée du jeune page attaché par ses bourreaux à {PAGE } un cheval furieux, et d’autre part le stoïcisme du roi de Pologne regardant la scène.
