EDITORS COMMENTS
In the middle of a bustling Parisian café, Desroches takes center stage as he leads the charivari. This scene captures the essence of 19th-century Parisian life, as people gather around tables to sing, drink, smoke, chat and flirt. The engraving is part of Alphonse Daudet's autobiographical collection titled "Trento ans de Paris" which provides a vivid glimpse into the vibrant social scene of the time. Illustrated by Montegut and featured in "Le Monde illustrious" in 1886, this print now resides in a private collection. Every detail in this artwork transports us back to that era - from the elegant attire worn by both men and women to the cloud of smoke hanging above their heads. The energy is palpable as voices intertwine with laughter and conversation fills every corner of the café. This image serves as a testament to French leisure culture during that period - where cafés were not just places for refreshment but also hubs for intellectual discussions and artistic inspiration. It encapsulates an important aspect of French society at that time: its love affair with literature, music, and lively social gatherings. As we gaze upon this black-and-white masterpiece by Stefano Bianchetti, we are reminded of how art has the power to transport us through time and immerse us in different worlds.
