Extrait : "Avant de faire ma confession générale en racontant chacune des scènes de la comédie parisienne dont j'ai été si longtemps le spectateur, j'avais déjà donné mais à un seul exemplaire le roman de mon cur à une étrange créature, gourmande de toutes les curiosités, une insatiable et une affolée sur le chemin l'absolu. Pourquoi? C'est ce que vous dira cette première histoire."

Excerpt from L'Artiste: Revue du Xixe Siècle; 1er Juillet, 1867 Eustache Le Sueur fut, comme le Poussin, un des fils bénie de la pauvreté. Son père, médiocre sculpteur, originaire de Montdidier, en Picardie, ne méconnut pas ses dispositions pour le dessin et le condui sit chez le peintre du roi, chez le célèbre et triomphant Simon V0uet. Déjà dans ce même atelier, un jeune homme nommé Pierre Mignard, un enfant nommé Charles Lebrun, venaient s'initier à l'art. Mais comme chaque destinée est semblable à elle-même, Lebrun était entré chez maitre V0uet comme plus tard il entra partout, par la grande porte. La protection assurée du chancelier Séguier en faisait déjà un person nage, tandis quc Le Sueur était admis obswrément et par gràce. Bien tôt l'italie, alors le but et la terre promise de tous les jeunes artistes, enleva à Simon Venet Mignard et peu après Lebrun. Seul, Le Sueur, dont la grande destinée était écrite d'avance, fut retenu à Paris par sa bonne marraine, la Misère.

novelist writer author man of letters poet
Houssaye was born on March 28, 1815 in Bruyères, France.
In 1832 he found his way to Paris, and in 1836 he published two novels, La Couronne de bluets and La Pécheresse. He had many friends in Paris, among them Jules Janin and Théophile Gautier, and he wrote in collaboration with Jules Sandeau. He produced art criticism in L'Histoire de la peinture flamande et hollandaise (1846); semi-historical sketches in Mlle de la Vallière et Mme de Montespan (1860) and Galerie de portraits du XVIII siècle (1844); literary criticism in Le Roi Voltaire (1858) and his famous satirical Histoire du quarante et unième fauteuil de l'Académie française, dealing with notables who failed of election to the French Academy (1855); drama in his Comédiennes (1857); poetry in his Symphonie de vingt ans (1867), Cent et un sonnets (1873), etc. ; and novels, Les Filles d'Eve (1852) and many others. He was long editor of L'Artiste and for some years was editor and proprietor of La Presse. In 1849, through the influence of the actress (Eliza) Rachel, he was entrusted with the administration of the Theâtre Français, a position he filled with unfailing tact and success until 1859, when he was made inspector-general of works of art. His Confessions, souvenirs d'un demi-siècle appeared in 1885-1891. He died in Paris. His early writings were devoted to classical antiquity, studied not only in books but on the actual Greek sites which he visited in 1868.
