Portrait of the Archbishop of Algiers and future Cardinal Charles Lavigerie who founded the society of Missionaries of Africa, the "White Fathers", alongside two famous white fathers from the beginnings of the Mission: on the right Father Lonce Bridoux who joined the community in 1873 and on the left perhaps Alfred Louis Delattre, who would become a great archaeologist. The two fathers who would become famous were named in the 1870s by Monseigneur Lavigerie and found themselves on a mission in Carthage. From 1878, the first directed the apostolic school of Saint-Eugène, the major seminary of Carthage of the White Fathers. And the second was named chaplain of the Saint-Louis church in Carthage will become the great explorer of the archaeological site of Carthage.
We recognize the clothing of the white fathers which is the same as the natives of North Africa, the dress or gandoura and a white wool "burnous". They also wear a rosary around their neck.
To the left of the cardinal is a “negro boy”. He wears a blue sash which shows that he was consecrated to the Virgin. He was certainly freed from slavery by Monseigneur Lavigerie who was a great defender within the Church of the position against slavery (a monument in his honor can still be found in Bayonne).
At the bottom left of the painting, two children eat while squatting. They are pointed out by the archbishop to the white fathers whose first mission in Africa was to take care of orphans.
A beautiful period painting with beautiful colors, beautiful portraits of religious people and at the same time an interesting document of the history of Catholic missions in North Africa.
