Henri Fantin-Latour, Le coin table Il progetto iniziale di Fantin-Latour era di rendere a Baudelaire un tributo simile a quello che aveva fatto a Delacroix in un famoso dipinto nel 1864. Progettò così di riunire diverse personalità del mondo letterario attorno a un ritratto del poeta di Les Fleurs du Mal, in occasione del cinquantesimo anniversario della sua nascita (1821-1867). L'opera rappresenta la conclusione di una cena immaginaria cui partecipano otto personaggi. I primi seduti da sinistra sono Paul Verlaine con il bicchiere in mano e il giovane Arthur Rimbaud dal viso grazioso rivolto verso Verlaine. Rimbaud dà le spalle a sei personaggi; i primi tre seduti sono: Lèon Valade, Ernest d’Hervilly e Camille Pelletan; gli altri tre in piedi sono: Elzear Bonnier, Emile Blémont e Jean Aicard. Tranne Pelletan che è un politico, tutti gli altri sono poeti e vengono rappresentati con vestiti neri. Il vaso di fiori sulla destra rimpiazza il poeta Albert Mérat che non volle essere rappresentato, soprattutto a causa dei dissapori con Rimbaud. Questi aveva interrotto una lettura di Jean Aicard e aveva costretto i poeti a portarlo fuori con la forza. Il ritratto da parte di Fantin-Latour del giovane poeta di Charleville, Rimbaud, è con la famosa foto fatta da Étienne Carjat, la rappresentazione di Rimbaud più conosciuta e riprodotta. Il dipinto fu venduto "agli inglesi", poi acquistato da Émile Blémont che lo donò al Louvre nel 1910. Attualmente si trova nel Museo D'Orsay, a Parigi dove è uno dei dipinti più ricercati dai visitatori.

By the Table

Henri Fantin-Latour, 1872

Musée d’Orsay, Paris

Paris, Francia

By the Table is a group portrait as much as a testimony to the literary history of the 19th century, and the Parnassus poetry group in particular. A group of men are gathered around the far end of a table after a meal. Three are standing, from left to right: Elzéar Bonnier, Emile Blémont and Jean Aicard. Five are seated: Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, Léon Valade, Ernest d'Hervilly and Camille Pelletan. They are all dressed in black except one, Camille Pelletan, who is not a poet like the others but a politician. The central place is occupied by Emile Blémont, who bought the painting and gave it to the Louvre in 1910.

At least two figures are missing: Charles Baudelaire, to whom the painting was initially to have been a tribute, who died in 1867 and Albert Mérat who did not want to be painted in the company of the diabolic poets Verlaine and Rimbaud and was reputedly replaced by a bunch of flowers.

The painting was criticised for being too big: "Who advised Mr Fantin-Latour to give his table such epic, monumental proportions? There is a contradiction between the painting's ambitious dimensions and its subject matter that ends up being irritating."

Symbolism

Victor Vasnetsov, The Knight at the Crossroads, 1878

“Symbolism was a late nineteenth-century art movement of French, Russian and Belgian origin in poetry and other arts seeking to represent absolute truths symbolically through metaphorical images and language mainly as a reaction against naturalism and realism. In literature, the style originates with the 1857 publication of Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal. The works of Edgar Allan Poe, which Baudelaire admired greatly and translated into French, were a significant influence and the source of many stock tropes and images. The aesthetic was developed by Stéphane Mallarmé and Paul Verlaine during the 1860s and 1870s. In the 1880s, the aesthetic was articulated by a series of manifestos and attracted a generation of writers. The term ‘symbolist’ was first applied by the critic Jean Moréas, who invented the term to distinguish the Symbolists from the related Decadents of literature and of art. Distinct from, but related to, the style of literature, symbolism in art is related to the gothic component of Romanticism and Impressionism....”

"Coin de table" par Fantin-Latour - Huile sur toile - 1872 au musée du Luxembourg, Paris October MMXVI : "Écrasé par la célébrité de l'unique représentation commune des poètes Rimbaud et Verlaine, ce portrait de groupe est encore plus artificiel que les précédents. Conçu comme un pendant littéraire de l'Hommage à Delacroix qui devait célébrer Baudelaire, il juxtapose en définitive des personnalités d'avant-garde et témoigne de la dimension éminemment littéraire de l'oeuvre de Fantin-Latoir. Il laisse au premier plan une grande place à une nature morte où l'on trouve des éléments de prédilection des cpmpositions de Fantin-Latour. Le déséquilibre de la disposition des personnages, délibérée, est accentué par le remplacement, à droite, d'un personnage par un magnifique ensemble de fleurs et de fruits."

The unhappy and troubled story of the French battleship Suffren

The splendidly-expressive Yiddish word “schlemiel” describes a person who is invariably unlucky and  whose endeavours are doomed to failure – “so inept that even inanimate objects pick on them”. One does come across such unfortunate individuals – who are usually likeable – but in reading naval history one is often struck by the fact that certain ships also have exactly the same characteristic. One such was the French pre-dreadnought battleship Suffren.

Suffren, named after the French admiral Pierre André de Suffren de Saint-Tropez, was ordered on 21 April 1898 from the Arsenal de Brest.

She was laid down on 5 January 1899 and launched on 25 July of the same year.

Originally thought as being a modified Iéna-class battleship, she was indeed of a class of her own, as she only retained some of the Iéna's layout.

Her fitting-out was delayed by late delivery of fittings and armour from July 1900. Suffren began her sea trials in November 1903, but was not commissioned until 3 February 1904. On 18 August 1903 she participated in a gunnery trial with the pre-dreadnought Masséna off Île Longue. A mild steel plate 55 centimetres (21.7 in) thick, measuring 225 by 95 centimetres (7 ft 5 in by 3 ft 1 in), was attached to the side of Suffren’s forward turret to determine the resistance of an armour plate to a large-calibre shell. 

Masséna anchored 100 metres (330 ft) away from Suffren and fired a number of 305-millimetre (12 in) shells at the plate. The first three were training shells that knocked splinters off the armour plate. The last two shells, fired with full charges, cracked the plate, but Suffren’s turret was fully operational, as was her Germain electrical fire-control system and the six sheep placed in the turret were unharmed. One splinter struck Masséna above her armour belt and left a 15-centimetre sized hole in her hull. Another 50-kilogram (110 lb) splinter landed within a few metres of the Naval Minister, Camille Pelletan, who was observing the trials.

When Suffren commissioned on 3 February 1904 she was assigned to the Mediterranean Squadron and became the flagship of its commander Vice Admiral Gourdon a few days later on 10 February. In April she carried the President of France, Émile Loubet on a state visit to Naples. As time went by several defects were revealed in service, including the weakness of the underpowered capstan which was barely capable of raising the anchor in waters 15–20 metres (49–66 ft) deep. Another problem was that the centre engine and its propeller shaft tended to overheat excessively. During fleet exercises off the Îles des Hyères on 5 February 1906 Suffren rammed the submarine Bonite when the latter miscalculated the fleet’s movements while manoeuvring into firing position.

Bonite rose to periscope depth less than 30 metres (98 ft) in front of Suffren,but the latter managed to turn quickly enough while Bonite was crash-diving that Suffren struck Bonite a glancing blow. This was enough, however, to breach two compartments abreast the ship’s starboard engine room and she had to be docked at Toulon for emergency repairs. Bonite’s bow was crushed and several of her ballast tanks were ripped open. Only by rapidly dropping her weighted keel was the submarine able to avoid sinking. No casualties were suffered by either vessel.

During the summer of 1906 Suffren’s above-water torpedo tubes were removed. She was drydocked adjacent to Iéna on 12 March 1907 at Toulon when the latter ship's magazine exploded. Burning fragments started a small fire aboard Suffren, but she was not otherwise damaged by the explosion. In early 1908 a 2-metre (6 ft 7 in) Barr and Stroud rangefinder was mounted on the navigation bridge. During manoeuvres off Golfe-Juan on 13 August 1908 the ship’s port propeller shaft broke and the propeller fell off in water 26 metres (85 ft) deep. While a new shaft was ordered from Indret, Iéna’s corresponding shaft was used with such success that the ship’s engineers requested to keep it in place and save the new shaft as a spare. This proposal was rejected by the Naval Ministry and the offending shaft was exchanged. The opportunity was also taken to successfully rework the centre propeller shaft’s mounting so that it would overheat less often. In November 1910 the starboard propeller shaft broke and the propeller was lost in deep water. No shaft was immediately available so Suffren had to wait three months for repairs. In the meantime, however, her boilers were overhauled. On 14 February 1911 the port anchor chain broke, killing one sailor and injuring two others. During another fleet exercise on 28 May 1914 Suffren suddenly lost power and was struck by the battleship Démocratie. She was only lightly damaged with her port anchor and hawsepipe carried away.

Shortly after the war began Suffren was fitted with additional Barr and Stround rangefinders near the bridge. Two of these were mounted on transverse rails fore and aft of the bridge. The after bulkhead was removed and the two 100-millimetre (3.9 in) guns on the side of the superstructure were moved one deck lower. On 26 September 1914 Suffren and the battleship Vérité were ordered to the Dardanelles to assist British ships in blockading the Dardanelles to prevent any sortie by the German battlecruiser SMS Goeben and the light cruiser SMS Breslau back into the Mediterranean. On 3 November the two French pre-dreadnoughts joined British ships bombarding the Ottoman fortifications at the mouth of the Dardanelles. The short, eleven-minute, bombardment by the French did little damage, but alerted the Ottomans that their defences there required strengthening. On 16 November Suffren sailed for Toulon for a lengthy refit.

Suffren returned to the Dardanelles on 9 January 1915 and became the flagship of the squadron of four French battleships, commanded by Rear-Admiral Émile Guépratte. She bombarded the Turkish fort of Kum Kale, on the Asian side of the strait on 19 February. Bouvet assisted Suffren by sending firing corrections via radio while Gaulois provided counter-battery fire to suppress the Ottoman coastal artillery. Late in the day the British pre-dreadnought HMS Vengeance was bombarding the fort at Orhaniye Tepe on the Asiatic side of the strait and began taking heavy fire as she approached the fort. The British battlecruiser HMS Inflexible attempted to suppress the Ottoman coast-defense guns to allow Vengeance to extricate herself, but was unsuccessful. Suffren and Gaulois had to combine their fire with that of Inflexible before Vengeance could successfully withdraw. Suffren fired thirty 305-millimetre shells and 227 164-millimetre shells during the day.

Suffren also participated in a more limited way in the bombardment of 25 February against the same targets, but this was far more successful as Suffren and the other ships moved as close as 3,000 yards (2,700 m) to the forts. On 2 March the French squadron bombarded targets in the Gulf of Saros, at the base of the Gallipoli Peninsula. On 7 March the French squadron attempted to suppress the Turkish guns while British battleships bombarded the fortifications. Admiral Guépratte and his squadron returned to the Gulf of Saros on 11 March where they again bombarded Turkish fortifications.

They returned to assist in the major attack on the fortifications planned for 18 March. British ships made the initial entry into the Dardanelles, but the French ships passed through them to engage the forts at closer range. Shortly after having done so Suffren was under heavy fire and was struck no less than 14 times in 15 minutes. Most did no significant damage, including a 24-centimetre (9.4 in) that bounced off the after 305-millimetre turret, but one 24-centimetre shell ricocheted off the port midships 164-millimetre turret and ripped the roof off the port casemate, killing the entire gun crew. Some flaming debris dropped into that gun's magazine and started a fire, but it was quickly flooded to prevent an explosion. Another shell tore a hole 80 millimetres (3.1 in) across in the bow which flooded the base of the forward turret. While the French Squadron was withdrawing pursuant to Admiral de Robeck’s order Bouvet struck a mine and sank in 55 seconds. 

Suffren lowered her admiral’s barge, her only intact boat, and rescued 75 men before she had to escort the badly-damaged Gaulois away from the Dardanelles. The latter was taking on water by the bow and had to be beached on one of the Rabbit Islands at the entrance of the Dardanelles before she sank.

Suffren was ordered to escort Gaulois to Toulon via Malta on 25 March. Two days later the ships encountered a storm and were forced to seek refuge in the Bay of Navarin. Suffren arrived at Toulon on 3 April and was repaired by 20 May when she returned to the Dardanelles to provide gunfire support for the troops ashore.

She remained in the area until she fired her last mission on 31 December. Upon returning to her anchorage at Kefalos, on the island of Kos, she collided with, and sank, the British steamer Saint Oswald, a horse transport involved in the evacuation from Gallipoli, and was badly damaged. Suffren arrived in Toulon on 20 January 1916 for repairs which were done by April. That month she joined the French squadron of six pre-dreadnoughts assigned to prevent any interference by the Greeks with Allied operations on the Salonica front. On 9 July Suffren became flagship of the squadron when Patrie departed for a refit at Toulon. On 7 October Patrie, Démocratie, and Suffren entered the harbour of Eleusina prepared to fire on the Greek pre-dreadnoughts Kilkis, Limnos and the cruiser Elli, but things were resolved peacefully and the French ship returned to their harbour.

Suffren was originally intended to refit at the naval base at Bizerte, but the location was switched when the dockyard at Lorient informed the Naval Staff that it had room for her. On 15 November the ship departed to recoal at Bizerte which she reached on 18 November. She sailed on 20 November for Gibraltar; heavy weather en route delayed her arrival until 23 November.

Her total crew compliment was about 730 men although at the time of her sinking because of heavy casualties received previously there were less than 650 aboard. 

It was partly down to the previous mentioned damage she had received that led to her eventual downfall at the hands of U52. Whereas she would have been able to manage around 18-19 knots maximum before at the time of being torpedoed she could barely manage half of that eg. she was very much the epitome of being a "sitting duck". Despite the fact that she was en route for a badly needed refit - as a pre-dreadnought she was to all extent and purpose obsolete. Suffren recoaled and departed Gibraltar the following day, without an escort. It was the last time the Suffren was ever seen again...

Meanwhile in Heligoland:

On November 15th, 1916, Kapitänleutnant Hans Walther, commanding officer of the U-52, was sent to patrol in the Atlantic. His orders were to go around Great Britain on the north side, then run south in the direction of the Canary Islands and eventually to the Mediterranean Sea.

On November 26th, while sailing close to the Portuguese coasts, she encountered an enemy warship. Let's hear from the U-52 commander in his own words:

"On my starboard side, around 08:30, I can see the masts of a warship that is heading north. I ask for a fast dive. She's a large ship with two chimneys, and I believe that she is from the Formidable class. She doesn't have any escort and is running straight north.

I maneuver so to attack her from the front. I am trying to stay at attack speed, but the surge prevents us to stay submerged.  We then decide to go half speed, but realize that we'd get too close. So, we change our course to attack from a different angle while preserving the possibility to attack from our aft tubes. They are ready and filled. This maneuver makes the submarine's aft very heavy and her kiosque is not submerged anymore when we are about 500 meters from our objective. I ask all crew members to get to the front of the boat, to keep her at combat depth.

 At 08:56, I order to fire from torpedo tube number 2. As I believe that I've been spotted, and because I am in front of my target, I am afraid that she will ram me, and I order an immersion at a depth of 20 meters, while ordering a crash port turn. In the meanwhile, after 18 seconds, I can her a first explosion, rapidly followed by a heavier one, which shakes our boat. To find out what is going on, I ask to go up to a depth of 11 meters. Before we are even to the desired depth, we are again getting very heavy in the aft section. A little later, we hear a loud noise and something scratching against our hull. We cannot maneuver our periscope, which is stuck at mid-height. I try again to reach our new depth. We can't hear anything but I can eventually reach periscope depth. On the rear, I can sea a very large blot as well as some smut. I order the boat to surface and I go outside. Seven minutes after I launched my torpedo, all I can see is an explosion cloud that is dispersed by the wind. My explanation of what happened is that the torpedo provoked an internal explosion, which made the ship sink almost instantly, almost colliding with our submarine while she was going down. I have some damage on the bridge as well as some scratches on the periscope.  I can also see some cloth on my radio mast, as well as a navy hat. They smell of burn. I also found a metallic piece that seems to come from a large caliber projectile.

At 09:03, I have not found any survivors or new evidence. I continue my route."

 The battleship that sunk was the Suffren. She didn't have any time to send any distress signal nor to save anybody. It took one month for the French admiralty to eventually declare her lost.

"Coin de table" par Fantin-Latour - Huile sur toile - 1872 au musée du Luxembourg, Paris October MMXVI : "Écrasé par la célébrité de l'unique représentation commune des poètes Rimbaud et Verlaine, ce portrait de groupe est encore plus artificiel que les précédents. Conçu comme un pendant littéraire de l'Hommage à Delacroix qui devait célébrer Baudelaire, il juxtapose en définitive des personnalités d'avant-garde et témoigne de la dimension éminemment littéraire de l'oeuvre de Fantin-Latoir. Il laisse au premier plan une grande place à une nature morte où l'on trouve des éléments de prédilection des compositions de Fantin-Latour. Le déséquilibre de la disposition des personnages, délibérée, est accentué par le remplacement, à droite, d'un personnage par un magnifique ensemble de fleurs et de fruits." 

Les artistes : Paul Verlaine (poète); Arthur Rimbaud (Poète); Léon Valade (poète et écrivain); Ernest d'Hervilly (écrivain, poète et journaliste); Camille Pelletan (journaliste et politicien); Elzéar Bonnier-Ortolan (poète et dramaturge); Émile Blémont (écrivain et poète); Jean Aicard (poète et écrivain).
