EDITORS COMMENTS
Desire Louis Eugene Gouget as the Demon Belphegor in Les Cinq Cents Diables at the Gaite-Lyrique: A Fairy Spectacle by Dumanoir and Dennery, 1860. This handcolored lithograph depicts the renowned French actor Desire Louis Eugene Gouget in the role of the demon Belphegor from the fairy spectacle Les Cinq Cents Diables, or The Five Hundred Devils, produced by Dumanoir and Dennery at the Gaite-Lyrique theatre in Paris in 1860. The elaborate and fantastical production was a significant success during the Second Empire era, with its enchanting blend of music, dance, and theatrical effects. Gouget's portrayal of Belphegor, a demon known for his seductive and malevolent nature, was undoubtedly a highlight of the show. The actor's intense expression and imposing presence are expertly captured in this stunning lithograph by Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. The intricate details of Gouget's demonic costume, complete with horns, wings, and menacing facial features, further enhance the overall effect of this mesmerizing image. Historically, Les Cinq Cents Diables marked a significant moment in the development of French theatre, as it combined elements of traditional fairy tales with contemporary theatrical techniques. The production's success paved the way for a new wave of innovative and imaginative theatrical productions in Paris and beyond. Today, this lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Desire Louis Eugene Gouget and the groundbreaking fairy spectacle that made him a legend.
