Alphonse Legros - La Legende du Bonhomme Misere The Legend of the Poor Old Man

La Legende du Bonhomme Misere (The Legend of the Poor Old Man)

One of Alphonse Legros' most famous etchings upon the subject of death is La Legende du Bonhomme Misere, (The Legend of the Poor Old Man) based upon an old French fable. La Legende du Bonhomme Misere by Alphonse Legros was first created in a small edition in 1877. This original impression is printed on laid, hand-made paper and with full, deckled margins as published by Macmillan and Co., London for Philip Gilbert Hamerton's portfolio entitled Etching and Etchers in 1880. It is titled and signed by Legros in the plate along the lower margin. This original etching represents a fine example of the etched art by the British artist, Alphonse Legros.
 
Title: La Legende du Bonhomme Misere (The Legend of the Poor Old Man)
Artist: Legros, Alphonse (Dijon, 1837 - London, 1911)
Date: 1874 (P. G. Hamerton's, Etching and Etchers, 1880)
Medium: Original Etching
Publisher: Macmillan and Co., London
Source: Etching and Etchers by Philip Gilbert Hamerton
Note: Alphonse Legros: A very influential etcher on both sides of the English Channel, Alphonse Legros moved to England permanently in 1863 on the advice of his friend, Whistler. A master etcher if figure subjects, portraits and landscapes, Alphonse Legros assumed the head professorship of etching and engraving at the Royal College in South Kensington in 1875. He later became the professor of art at the Slade School of Art, London. From this position he fashioned a standard and influenced many younger British artists, most notably William Strang, Charles Furse and Charles Holroyd. In total Legros's graphic oeuvre runs to 704 etchings.
  Most of Alphonse Legros's figure subjects were inspired by the artist's early impressions of French peasant life. Influences upon his art in this area have been traced to the paintings and drawings of Gustave Courbet and the art of Goya and the Spanish School. Relatedly, the theme of death figures prominently in the etchings of Alphonse Legros. One may point to Holbein and other Northern masters of the Renaissance in this vein, but Legros's treatment of this theme is all his own.
  La Legende du Bonhomme Misere (The Legend of the Poor Old Man): One of Alphonse Legros' most famous etchings upon the subject of death is La Legende du Bonhomme Misere. It is actually based upon an old French fable in which Saints Peter and Paul visit a very old man who possesses a hut and a pear tree in order to grant him one wish. The old man (Bonhomme Misere) asks not for wealth nor power but simply requests that anyone who climbs up his pear tree can not get down without his permission. The strange wish is granted and within time Death comes to pay the aged man his inevitable visit. Bonhomme Misere receives his guest very pleasantly and requests only that Death climb the tree to secure a ripe pear in the upper branches. Once there, Death is firmly trapped. A treaty is thus negotiated in which Death will leave Bonhomme Misere (Misery) to dwell forever upon Earth. This original etching was also published by Alfred Cadart, Editeur - Imprimeur in 1874 for the publication entitled, L'Eau-Forte en 1874.
  Hamerton's, Etching and Etchers: The writings of Philip Gilbert Hamerton (1834-1894) did more to restore the art of etching as an original and major art medium than any other nineteenth century author. His first book, The Painter's Camp, was published in 1862. He also served as the editor of The Portfolio (1870-1893), a major arts publication dealing extensively with the art of etching. Of his many books the most influential was Etching and Etchers which introduced both artists and collectors to the many creative and technical aspects of the medium. The first edition was published in 1868 and included original etchings by Jongkind, Haden and Palmer as well as late printings of seventeenth century Dutch masters. A second edition followed in 1876, but without any original etchings. The third edition (from which this original etching hails) was published in a large paper edition limited to one thousand copies. For this most valuable publication Hamerton secured etchings from such contemporary artists as Whistler, Haden, Palmer, Israels, Jacque, Jacquemart, Billet, Soumy, Appian, Legros, Unger, Herkomer and others. In total over twenty original etchings were printed for this important 1880 portfolio. It should finally be noted that Hamerton was meticulous in his inclusion of plates for this edition. Each of the etchings selected were in pristine condition, showing no sign of wear or deterioration of any kind. An original etching by Alphonse Legros, La Legende du Bonhomme Misere (The Legend of the Poor Old Man) hails from Philip Gilbert Hamerton's 1880 portfolio entitled Etching and Etchers published by Macmillan and Co., London.
