Ham Nghi, the "Prince of Annam," pursued an intense lifelong activity as a painter, pastellist, and sculptor. The deposed emperor, forced into exile in Algiers by the French authorities at the age of eighteen, was trained by French painters and sculptors in Algeria and in mainland France. He frequented the high society, intellectual, and artistic circles of his time.
This catalog, published on the occasion of the first monographic exhibition dedicated to him, invites visitors to discover his public and personal life, as well as a vast selection of his work. Nine previously unpublished articles, written by specialists, clarify the historical and cultural context in which Hàm Nghi evolved, in order to better understand the reception of his work, yesterday and today.
