About the Item
Profile Portrait of Alphonse de Lamartine – Stipple Engraving after David d’Angers, 1843
This finely executed 19th-century stipple engraving features a neoclassical profile portrait of the French Romantic poet, historian, and statesman Alphonse de Lamartine (1790–1869). The composition presents Lamartine in left-facing profile as a sculptural bust, set against a horizontally lined background. His name, Lamartine, is engraved above, and the date 1843 is inscribed below the neckline of the bust.
The engraving is based on a medallion by Pierre-Jean David d’Angers, a prominent sculptor and medallist who was well known for his portraits of leading literary and political figures. The engraving itself was completed by Achille-Louis Martinet, a master of the stipple technique, who brought extraordinary delicacy and precision to the rendering. The detailed modeling of Lamartine’s features and the smooth transition of tones reflect the engraver’s technical expertise.
This type of profile portrait was popular in the mid-19th century, especially for commemorating cultural figures. It draws on classical traditions, echoing the aesthetic of Roman coins and medals, and was often used for public intellectuals, poets, and statesmen. Lamartine was one of the most admired literary and political voices of his time. His poetry helped define French Romanticism, and he played a key role in the revolutionary events of 1848.
Published simultaneously in Paris, London, and Leipzig, this engraving speaks to Lamartine’s broad international reputation. It would have appealed to educated audiences and collectors interested in literature, politics, and fine engraving.
Condition report:
The print is in very good condition. The engraved image area is crisp and clean with no signs of wear. The margins are wide and untrimmed. There is some light foxing and a few small handling marks visible in the outer margins, but these do not affect the portrait or title area.
Framing suggestions:
This neoclassical-style engraving pairs beautifully with a traditional gold frame or a black frame with a gold inner edge. A soft white or light grey mat will complement the refined shading of the portrait without distracting from it. Use UV-protective glass to ensure long-term preservation of the paper and fine engraved lines. This piece would make a distinguished addition to any collection of 19th-century literary portraits or Romantic-era art.
