1842 Assiette Beurre Composer Jules Massenet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the esteemed French composer Jules Massenet (1842-1912) in the twilight of his illustrious career. Taken in 1912, the image finds Massenet in deep concentration, his furrowed brow and introsive gaze suggesting the depth of thought and creativity that fueled his prolific body of work. Known for his lyrical and melodic compositions, Massenet was a leading figure in the Parisian music scene, with a particular affinity for operas and orchestral music. Among his most celebrated works are "Manon," "Werther," and "Thaïs." The title "Assiette Beurre" is not mentioned in this photograph, but it is worth noting that this composition was one of his last major works, premiered in 1912, the same year this photograph was taken. The title translates to "Buttered Plate," and it is a suite for orchestra that was inspired by the French culinary tradition. This poignant image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Jules Massenet, whose music continues to captivate audiences around the world.
