Summary "The Gospel of Freedom" by Robert Herrick is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Simeon Erard, a struggling artist in Paris, and his interactions with his visitors, including the Anthon family. The themes of ambition, artistic integrity, and societal expectations are explored through Erard's relationships and the contrasting values of those around him. The opening of the novel introduces us to Simeon Erard as he shows his artwork to Mrs. Anthon and her family. Amid their bemused reactions to his paintings, especially a depiction of a woman in a bath, the narrative touches upon the dynamics of artistic expression and the differing perspectives of the characters on art and success. The descriptions are rich and provide insights into Erard's character—an artist who is both desperate for recognition and disdainful of typical societal judgments. The chapter establishes the backdrop of Paris as a place where artistic ambition and societal pressures collide, setting the stage for deeper explorations of identity, aspiration, and the quest for meaningful expression.
