Description

Français : En créant les Pères blancs, Monseigneur le Cardinal Charles Martial Lavigerie (1825–1892) est à l’origine du développement des institutions sociales et éducatives chrétiennes de l’Algérie française. Cette représentation picturale est désormais bien connue, en raison du fait que sa reproduction, gravée, a fréquemment été diffusée à l’occasion du Toast d’Alger, là où précisément Monseigneur Charles Lavigerie exhortait les catholiques français — souvent royalistes — à se rallier au gouvernement républicain. Cette huile sur toile a été achetée par l’État Français pour faire partie des collections nationales. Initialement exposée au musée du Luxembourg, elle est ensuite annexée aux expositions de Moscou, de Chicago et se trouve actuellement exposée à la galerie des portraits historiques, en France, à Versailles.

English: Monsignor Charles Martial Lavigerie (1825-1892) was the founder of the White Fathers; he contributed to the spread of social Christian and educational institutions within French Algeria. This oil on canvas was painted in 1888 by Léon Bonnat (1833-1922), who was a French painter and a portraitist. It was purchased by the French State for the national collection and was initially displayed at the Luxembourg Museum. Subsequently, it was displayed at exhibitions which took place in Moscow and in Chicago. Currently, it is on display at the gallery of historical portraits in Versailles. This painting became well known due to the fact that its engraved reproduction was used during the Toast of Algiers, where Bishop Charles Lavigerie urged the French Catholics — most of them fervent Royalists — to join the French republican government.
