This painting belongs to a series of portraits of writers whose work I appreciate.
Here, Georges Bernanos, French writer, made popular by Diary of a country priest and Under the sun of Satan, whose film adaptation by Maurice Pialat, who won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival on this occasion, remains one of my favorite films and was then to me an introduction to Bernanos' writing.
