Alain Delon Biography
Born on 8 November 1935 in Sceaux, Alain Delon established himself from the late 1950s as the most handsome face of French cinema.
René Clément's Purple Noon (1960) revealed him as an ambiguous and magnetic Tom Ripley. Rocco and His Brothers then The Leopard, under Visconti's direction, confirmed the breadth of his talent and his international aura. With Jean-Pierre Melville, he etched the figure of the lone killer into legend: Le Samouraï, Le Cercle Rouge, Un Flic.
An actor, producer and popular figure, he embodied an elegant, melancholy masculinity that marked several generations. Our framed Fine Art photo prints celebrate his retro elegance: portraits and black-and-white photos, in black and white or, for some, in colour, for a living room, a bedroom or an office.
