Summary

Description

Français : Portrait photographique de Paul Verlaine. [Paris, 1893]. Négatif original sur plaque de verre (11,7 x 17,8 cm), légendé au verso sur une bande de papier collé Verlaine.

Photographe d'origine suédoise, Otto Wegener (1849-1922) s'installa à Paris, place de la Madeleine, en 1883. Il devint rapidement le portraitiste de la société mondaine, y compris de Marcel Proust qui l'admirait. En 1893, Otto consacra à Verlaine une séance de six poses. Revêtu d'une pelisse, il est tantôt coiffé d'un haut de forme, tantôt tête nue. (Van Bever & Monda, Bibliographie et iconographie de Paul Verlaine, 1926, p. 218). Trois ans avant sa mort, le poète apparaît la face socratique, le front bossué, le regard enfoncé sous l'arcade sourcilière, arborant l'écharpe chamarrée dont il était si fier.

L'un des plus célèbres portraits de Verlaine : de trois quarts, la main droite dans le gilet, le candidat à l'Académie française pose pour la postérité. La superbe écharpe brodée de chez Charvet lui avait été offerte par Robert de Montesquiou. Le dessin de l'écharpe rappelle les motifs japonisants alors en vogue. La photographie est reproduite notamment dans le numéro spécial de La Plume consacré à Verlaine en 1896.

Permission
(Reusing this file)

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

The author died in 1924, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1930.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
