EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mathilde Maute de Fleurville, a woman of strength and resilience. Taken by an anonymous French photographer in the 19th century, this portrait captures Mathilde's half-length figure with an air of mystery surrounding her. Mathilde was not just any ordinary woman; she was the wife of renowned French poet Paul Verlaine. However, their marriage was far from perfect due to Verlaine's tumultuous relationship with fellow poet Arthur Rimbaud. The strain caused by this affair eventually led to their divorce in 1885. In this image, Mathilde exudes elegance and grace despite the hardships she faced during her marriage. Her piercing gaze hints at a depth of emotions that only someone who has experienced heartbreak can understand. It is as if she carries the weight of her past on her shoulders while still maintaining an aura of dignity. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in times of turmoil, one can find solace within themselves. Mathilde Maute de Fleurville stands tall as a symbol of resilience and inner strength, transcending the boundaries set upon her by society. As we admire this timeless piece captured through time's lens, let us reflect on our own ability to overcome adversity and emerge stronger than ever before.
