Discover Pierre Auguste Vafflard’s poignant paintings, including "Young Holding his Dead Daughter." Explore themes of grief & loss in 19th-century French art.
In 1736 the English poet and playwright Edward Young was traveling through France with his family when his stepdaughter, Elizabeth Temple, died at Lyons. Forbidden to inter her remains in the city’s Catholic cemetery because of their religion, he was obliged to seek out the Protestant burial ground in the middle of the night. His romantic and indelibly macabre poem relating the story, The Complaint, or Night-Thoughts on Life, Death, and Immortality (1742–45), was especially popular during the period of the French Revolution.This is a study for a painting Vafflard exhibited at the Salon of 1804 (Musée des Beaux-Arts, Angoulême).
