The Binant Series (Scenes of civilian and military life) (French - Suite Binant - Scènes de la vie civile et militaire) was a series of 36 large-format paintings commissioned by (and named after) Parisian art-material dealer Alfred Binant (1822-1904) in the wake of the Siege of Paris. 13 artists were involved, producing a precious record of the recent Franco-Prussian War and Paris Commune, first exhibited in 1872. Only thirteen of the full paintings survive, all of which are now in the Musée Carnavalet, though 36 modellos for the series were rediscovered in the stores of the Musée Gassendi in Digne-les-Bains in June 2017.

In January 1871, Louis Alfred Binant,[1] a Parisian dealer in paintings, artists' paper, crayons, paintings and other artists' materials with shops on rue de Cléry and boulevard Rochechouart (now boulevard Marguerite-de-Rochechouart),[2] commissioned thirteen artists to produce 36 large-format oil on canvas paintings "certainly made two metres by four" to document the 1870-1871 siege of Paris. According to him, he also wanted "[to make] a work of memory, for neither books (however well-informed), nor engravings can speak to the eyes and therefore to the spirit as clearly as a painting". The paintings were exhibited from November 1871 to February 1872 at Durand-Ruel's dealership on rue Le Peletier,[3] with the exhibition entitled Le Siège de Paris 1870-71. Exposition des peintures des épisodes civils et militaires de la défense. In September 1898, Binant bequeathed all 36 paintings and a booklet describing each painting to the city of Paris, though only thirteen still survive, all at the musée Carnavalet, which they officially entered in February 1914. The other works (now lost) remained in the stores of the Petit Palais, where they may have been destroyed during the German occupation (1940-1944).[3][4][5]

Sylvie Gonzalez, a curator at the musée d'Art et d'Histoire Paul Éluard in Saint-Denis, tried to find the lost works - in June 2017 the 36 modellos, each measuring 22 by 35 cm and produced as a preparatory sketch, were rediscovered in the stores of the musée Gassendi in Dignes-les-Bains. They had been acquired by that museum in 1900 from Binant and were restored by Nadine Gomez before in 2019 being placed in the musée d'art et d'histoire de Saint-Denis, which already had major holdings on the Commune.[4]

Artists

Most of the artists involved worked collaboratively on different paintings at the same time. The oldest of them, Jacques Guiaud, collaborated on 27 paintings and seems to have also been the most active.[3]

List of paintings

Before the modellos were rediscovered, all the paintings were known thanks to an album by Armand Dayot, entitled L’Invasion ; le Siège de 1870 d’après des peintures, gravures, photographies, sculptures, médailles autographes, objets du temps ; followed by La Commune 1871, published by Ernest Flammarion in 1902, which contained photographic reproductions.[3]
