EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative oil painting by Eugene Pascau, we find Honoré Champion (1846-1913), a renowned bookseller-editor from Paris, surrounded by his three sons in his office at the turn of the 20th century. The warm, rich colors of the canvas transport us back in time, inviting us to witness an intimate moment of family and professional life. The scene is set in the heart of the Champion family's publishing institution, with the patriarch seated at his desk, engrossed in a book. His eldest son, his head bent over a stack of papers, seems to be engaged in a deep discussion with his father. The youngest son, playfully peeking over his older brother's shoulder, adds a touch of innocence and curiosity to the image. The room is filled with the heritage of the book trade, with shelves laden with volumes and a grand fireplace adorning the back wall. The atmosphere is one of intellectual pursuit and familial bonding, as the Champion men share their passion for literature and the written word. This painting, titled "Honoré Champion (1846-1913), bookseller-editor, surrounded by his sons," is a testament to the importance of family and the enduring legacy of the publishing industry in France. It is a poignant reminder that behind every great institution, there is a dedicated father and his devoted sons, working together to preserve and share the wealth of human knowledge. The painting, created by Eugène Pascau, is a precious addition to the collections of Musée Carnavalet in Paris, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors with its authentic portrayal of a bygone era.
