1853 Durieu
Although it looks later and resembles the 1880s work of Lalaing, this one is well
authenticated as by Durieu in 1853 in collaboration with the artist Delacroix.
The model certainly looks like the fellow in the majority of my Lalaing photos. He may have indeed modelled for both photographers - or the attribution for some of the photos may be incorrect.
In the era of cut and paste, it's possible for multiple "authentications" to be wrong. Lalaing wasn't born until 1858, so if this was the same guy, he didn't age at all in 25 plus years. I think the date is wrong as stated above.
Nice one.
ReplyDeleteYou can almost hear Durieu directing him to get the best definition, yet maintaining total stillness.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anything was left to chance.

DeleteThese recordings from the past are fascinating.I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.
ReplyDeleteI do. The first photographs I collected were 19th C.
