La obra maestra desconocida

Por Honoré de Balzac

"Tu creación está incompleta. No has podido insuflar más que una porción de tu alma a tu querida obra. La antorcha de Prometeo se ha apagado más de una vez en tus manos, y muchos sitios de tu cuadro no han sido tocados por la llama celeste."

Pourbus y Nicolás Poussin visitan al pintor Frenhofer, quien desde hace 7 años se esfuerza por dibujar a una mujer imaginaria, llamada primero la Belle Noiseuse –una célebre cortesana– y luego, en la versión definitiva, Catherine Lescault, una virgen maravillosa. Cuento fantástico a la manera de Hoffman al principio, La obra maestra desconocida consigue, poco a poco, desprenderse de las primeras apariencias. Con la puesta de relieve de su dimensión filosófica, se impone como uno de los textos esenciales de Balzac sobre el arte, el artista y la creación.

Honoré de Balzac

Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was a French novelist, short story writer, and playwright. Regarded as one of the key figures of French and European literature, Balzac’s realist approach to writing would influence Charles Dickens, Émile Zola, Henry James, Gustave Flaubert, and Karl Marx. With a precocious attitude and fierce intellect, Balzac struggled first in school and then in business before dedicating himself to the pursuit of writing as both an art and a profession. His distinctly industrious work routine—he spent hours each day writing furiously by hand and made extensive edits during the publication process—led to a prodigious output of dozens of novels, stories, plays, and novellas. La Comédie humaine, Balzac’s most famous work, is a sequence of 91 finished and 46 unfinished stories, novels, and essays with which he attempted to realistically and exhaustively portray every aspect of French society during the early-nineteenth century.

A pair of painters offer various bribes, one, at last successful, to be allowed to see the hidden masterpiece of a third and more established painter. Alas!, For one of the younger men despairs of his own work...and destroys himself.

A short story, set in seventeenth century Paris, involving the young Nicolas Poussin, an established painter Pourbus, and an old master called Frenhofer, who is constructed to be the greatest painter of his day. Frenhofer reveals to his younger admirers that he has been working on a secret painting which has consumed all his creative powers for the past ten years. When they finally manage to convince Frenhofer to let them see the Unknown Masterpiece, it $ to them to be nothing but a mess of lines and layers of paint, and their reactions unfold a dramatic end to the story. A very enjoyable little book about the meaning and goals of the artistic creation.
