Background:
FULCHIRON, Jean Claude (1774-1859) was a writer, industrialist
and politician and served as a Deputy from 1831-1845. He supported
de Broglie in 1835. This print is based on a previous sculpture
of Fulchiron. He was a member of the Académie Française
und wrote two tragedies, which however were never performed. At
the end of his political life he started a new and successful career
as travel writer. Daumier’s sculpture of Fulchiron (Gobin 3)
is with an almost frozen, death-like, immobile face. He is described
as the Tartuffe, a hypocrite and leading character in one of Molière's
plays.
