| Summary | "Essais et portraits" by Jacques-Émile Blanche is a collection of essays and character sketches written in the early 20th century. This work reflects upon various artists and contemporaries that the author encountered, offering insights into their personalities and contributions to the art world. The collection serves as a blend of personal recollections and critical observations, allowing readers to appreciate both the art and the context surrounding its creation. At the start of the text, the author discusses the motivation behind compiling these essays, noting that they were originally intended for publication in journals after the deaths of the artists he portrays. He begins by describing the renowned painter Fantin-Latour, detailing his unique character, work ethic, and interactions with visitors to his studio. Through a vivid portrayal, Blanche captures Fantin's complexities, illustrating him as a serious yet somewhat reclusive figure deeply ingrained in the artistic traditions of his time. This introduction suggests a rich exploration of not just individual talents but also the artistic climate of the period, inviting readers into the intimate world of these celebrated figures.
