EUGÈNE-LOUIS LAMI, A CHARITY SALE FOR THE VICTIMS OF GUADELOUPE IN THE GRAND SALON OF THE PALAIS ROYAL, PARIS, GRAPHITE, WATERCOLOUR AND BODYCOLOUR

Close to the powerful men of his age, Eugène Lami was commissioned by King Louis-Philippe on 24 July 1843 to illustrate a charity sale that took place for the benefit of the victims of the earthquake of 8 February 1843 in Guadeloupe. The town of Pointe-à-Pitre was totally destroyed and the earthquake left hundreds of people dead in the capital of this island, a French colony at the time. To help the population, Queen Marie-Amélie made available the Grand Salon of the Royal Palace, redecorated in 1820 by the architect Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine, to house a charity sale which, according to press reports, raised more than one hundred thousand francs (Bruson, op. cit.). The unpacking of this sale lasted three days from 24 to 26 April 1843 and the present watercolour by Lami was reproduced in L’Illustration of 29 April 1843 (Baillio, op. cit., p. 503, fig. 9).
A great illustrator of the elegant Parisian life, this commission became the pretext for Eugène Lami to depict a crowd of young people in fashionable dress with numerous paintings in the background. Alfred de Musset is recognisable in the foreground with his black suit, top hat in hand and cane. The same silhouette of the writer, whose writings Lami would illustrate, can be seen in a watercolour depicting the Foyer de la danse de l’Opéra, 1842 (Lemoisne, op. cit., no. 641). The artist also studied the figure in a red-chalk sketch, signed and dated 1841 in the Musée de la Comédie Française (fig. 1; Baillio, op. cit., fig. 14).
This watercolour with its prestigious historical provenance, having belonged to the royal collections (the inventory number is still visible, see Provenance), remains a precious testimony to political life under Louis-Philippe and to France’s relations with its colonies, by one of the most famous chroniclers of the time.
We would like to thank Caroline Imbert for her help in writing this note.
