EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate costume of Pyrrhus, a character from Jean Racine's renowned tragedy "Andromache". The image is derived from Volume I of Research on the Costumes and Theatre of All Nations, engraved by Pierre Michel Alix in 1802. Colored with exquisite precision, this engraving by Philippe Chery beautifully captures the essence of Pyrrhus' regal attire. Pyrrhus, known as the King of Epirus in Greek mythology, is depicted here seated upon a majestic throne. His costume exudes grandeur and power, befitting his royal status. Every detail has been meticulously crafted to convey both elegance and strength. The French drama "Andromache" revolves around Pyrrhus' tumultuous relationship with Andromache, the widow of Hector. This tragic tale explores themes such as love, betrayal, and honor. Through this striking visual representation, we are transported into the world of ancient Greece and immersed in its timeless narratives. The print not only serves as a testament to Racine's enduring literary legacy but also highlights the artistry involved in bringing these characters to life on stage. It reminds us that theater is not merely about words spoken or written; it encompasses every aspect of storytelling – including costumes that add depth and authenticity to each character's portrayal. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
