Augustin Lesage (1876-1954), was a French coal miner who became painter and artist through the help of what he considered to be spirit voices. When he was 35 years old, Lesage claimed he heard a voice speak to him from the darkness of the mine and tell him, “One day you will be a painter”. The only contact Lesage had had with the arts at that point in his life was a visit to the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille museum in Lille during his military service.

On purchasing his first canvas, Lesage mistakenly bought one ten times as large as he had intended. His spirit guides instructed him not to be daunted, but to begin painting. Large canvasses became his chosen format.

Lesage went on to develop a unique, highly symmetrical style, drafting detailed patterns and monolithic constructions reminiscent of Egyptian and Oriental architectural forms.

Lesage claimed, that he would never have any idea about what he wanted to portray. “I never have an overview of the entire work at any point of the execution. My guides tell me, ” I surrender to their impulse“.

At first Lesage never signed his paintings, and then began to sign them ‘Leonardo Da Vinci.’ It was only later that he began to add his own signature.

Spartacus che spezza le sue catene (1847) “Bronzo, 219 x 94 x 6 cm” [Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, Lille, Francia] -- Denis Foyatier (Francese; 1793 - 1863)

“Ci fissa, con un aspetto severo, allo stesso tempo tristemente determinato e furioso. Nella mano destra, una spada. A sinistra, le sue catene rotte. Spartaco, il soldato dell'esercito romano diventato un gladiatore, si è appena liberato dai suoi catene ed è determinato a combattere.

La vita di questo personaggio storico è difficile da rintracciare. Tutto quello che sappiamo con certezza è che nacque in Tracia - oggi nella penisola balcanica - e che guidò una rivolta di schiavi tra il 73 e il 71 a.C. Questa rivolta fu repressa violentemente dal generale romano Crasso.

Spartaco è ancora oggi visto come l'epitome della resistenza contro un regime totalitario. Lui è un esempio di virtù. Non sorprende allora che la scultura sia stata oggetto di sfruttamento politico!

In effetti, qui vedete un simbolo dei Trois Glorieuses, i tre giorni di rivoluzione. Questi tre giorni di rivolta, nel luglio 1830, portarono alla rimozione di Carlo X e all'ascesa di Luigi Filippo. Infatti sappiamo che non era intenzione dell'artista denunciare la reale, anzi... La versione marmorea di Spartaco, ora conservata al Louvre, fu commissionata all'artista, nel 1828, dall'amministrazione reale di Carlo X! La storia stessa crea i suoi paradossi. ”
