Doctor A. Peretti
Félix Calonder
Bibliography:
Charles and Mario Garibaldi "Monticelli", Skira, Geneva, 1991, reproduced p.68
Exhibition:
"Adolphe Monticelli", Centre de la Vieille Charité, Marseille, 12 October 1986 - 4 January 1987, reproduced on p.180 of the catalogue.
A subscriber to the Opéra de Marseille, Monticelli was fascinated by the work of Charles Gounod and particularly by the character of Méphistophélès, in which some have seen a self-portrait of the artist. There are several versions of this subject.
We would like to thank Marc Stammegna for confirming the authenticity of this painting.
