Excerpt from Recollections of a Picture DealerMy maternal grandfather was one of these. A native of Northern France, he had dreamed in his early youth of becoming a painter, but having no patrimony, he ended by seeking his fortune in La Réunion, where he married a girl whose parents came from Provence. I remember that among the papers he left, I discovered the draft of a letter addressed to a friend in France, in which he spoke of the divine Ingres. This epithet divine, attributed to the painter, made the greater impression on me as I had never before heard it a plied to a human being.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
