L’Artiste was a weekly illustrated review published in Paris from 1831 to 1904, supplying "the richest single source of contemporary commentary on artists, exhibitions and trends from the Romantic era to the end of the nineteenth century."[1]
History
L'Artiste was founded in 1831 by Achille Ricourt with financing provided by the businessman Aimé-Joseph Brame.[2] In 1843, it was purchased by Arsène Houssaye.[3]
Originally, L'Artiste addressed
fine arts and literature, but by 1859, literature became its primary concern. It later absorbed the Revue de Paris
.
Important editors included A. Ricourt, H. Delaunay, and
Alphonse Esquiros
.
