Abstract

In 1843 Vicente López published his first historical fiction in El Progreso, a daily newspaper that he edited with Sarmiento. His feuilleton, “Alí-Bajá,” was on the Albanian pasha Ali of Tepelen, and it was written to illuminate the theme of the orientalist painting exhibited in Santiago by the French artist Monvoisin. Following this lead, the article defends the possibility that one of the Celebrated Crimes by Dumas père, “Ali Pacha,” was known to both López and Sarmiento in 1843, but that they decided not to use it as part of their project to explain Monvoisin’s paintings to their readership. However, Sarmiento may have had it in mind, as a model for the genre of criminal biography, when he wrote his most famous book two years later.
