EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait captures Ferdinand de Lesseps during his vice-consulship in Alexandria around 1832. Painted by the French School of the 19th century, this watercolor on paper print showcases a young and ambitious man who would later become renowned for his groundbreaking work on the Suez Canal. Ferdinand de Lesseps, born in 1805 and passing away in 1894, was an influential diplomat and engineer. His most notable achievement was spearheading the development and construction of the Suez Canal. This monumental feat revolutionized global trade by providing a direct route between Europe and Asia. In this painting, de Lesseps is depicted lounging comfortably on a sofa with an air of confidence surrounding him. The artist skillfully portrays him as both relaxed and inventive, capturing his youthful spirit as he gazes through a telescope towards the sea. The image not only highlights de Lesseps' role as a vice consul but also hints at his future endeavors as an engineering pioneer. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this portrait offers us a glimpse into the early years of one of history's greatest visionaries. This print is part of the Compagnie de Suez collection in France, showcasing their appreciation for art that celebrates remarkable individuals like Ferdinand de Lesseps. As we admire this piece from eArchives Charmet via Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how one person's determination can shape our world forever.
