Description
FORAIN, Jean-Louis (1852-1931), peintre, graveur et illustrateur français.
L.A.S. to the Countess de Viel-Castel. Paris, December 31, 1900. 1 p. 1/2 in-4. Preserved autograph envelope, postal mark. Forain visits Huysmans, in Ligugé. "Ligugé is an ugly country that has a convent of Benedictines, and that it is there that my friend J.K. Huysmans has retired, whose conversion scandalized the free thinkers a few years ago, while naturally arousing the mistrust of good people. I went to visit him at the Christmas party. I attended midnight mass and the offices of the monks the next day [...] I will tell you how beautiful it was. My friend lives there very happily. He is an Oblate and lives in a house next to the convent [...]".
