Antoine Chintreuil 2 (cropped), Jean-Alfred Desbrosses

Antoine chintreuil, painted by his lifelong companion and protégé jean desbrosses, c. 1872-1873. Frédéric henriet in the book la vie et l'oeuvre de chintreuil (1874), page xxxviii, calls it a portrait "of a very intimate character. Chintreuil is represented in profile, his features and body emaciated by suffering. Slumped in a large armchair, the poor artist consults a drawing; perhaps it forms some new painting project. Seeing him still cling to the future with this stubborn hope, we cling to this consoling thought: the art that has filled his life will at least have hidden its last hour from him. " ("le second est d’un caractère tout intime. Chintreuil y est représenté de profil, les traits et le corps amaigris par la souffrance. Affaissé dans un vaste fauteuil, le pauvre artiste consulte un dessin; peut-être forme-t-il quelque nouveau projet de tableau. En le voyant s’accrocher encore à l’avenir avec ce tenace espoir, nous nous attachons à cette pensée consolante: l’art qui a rempli sa vie lui aura du moins caché sa dernière heure. ").
