Born in Switzerland, Théodore de Saussure was a politician, soldier, writer
and painter. Highly active in Swiss cultural and political life, he became,
among other roles, a member of the Grand Council of Geneva, then president of the Société
des Arts, and a trustee of the Rath Museum.
Towards the end of his career, he became president of the Federal Commission for
Fine Arts. He was also instrumental in founding the Swiss Society for
the Preservation of Historic Monuments. He exhibited at the National Exhibition
in Geneva in 1896 and created stage sets in Genthod.
Our fan depicts an architectural whim in the style of the artists of the
18th century.
