EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le pain du pauvre, Arnaud d Andilly" transports us to a bygone era of French literature and the struggle for sustenance. The engraving, created by Emile Antoine Bayard in the 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of poverty and its reliance on bread as a staple food. The image showcases Arnaud d'Andilly, a prominent figure in French literature, surrounded by loaves of white bread. Each loaf represents not only nourishment but also symbolizes the scarcity and importance of food supply during that time. The intricate details in this engraving bring forth an emotional connection to the plight of the poor. As we delve into this artwork's historical context, it becomes evident that it was originally featured in "Le Tresor Litteraire de la France" published by Hachette in 1866. This publication aimed to preserve and celebrate France's literary heritage while shedding light on societal issues such as poverty. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the significance of bread as a lifeline for those less fortunate. It serves as a poignant reminder that even something as simple as a loaf can hold immense value when one is struggling to survive. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind Bayard's engraving and its profound message about human resilience amidst adversity.
