EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Figaro, one of the most iconic characters in opera history. Taken from Act III Scene 12 of "The Barber of Seville" by Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, this illustration beautifully showcases Figaro's lively personality and mischievous charm. Engraved by Ferdinand Delanoy in 1874, this image brings to life the vibrant world created by Caron de Beaumarchais. The play was later transformed into an opera by Gioacchino Rossini, further solidifying Figaro's place in theatrical history. In this scene, we see Figaro dressed as a valet to Count Almaviva, engaging in a quarrel with another character. His Spanish costume adds an exotic touch to his already charismatic presence. Despite the heated exchange depicted here, there is a hint of a smile on his face - perhaps indicative of his cleverness and ability to navigate any situation. Figaro's role as both a lover and servant is evident through his youthful appearance juxtaposed with the older man he confronts. Holding a razor while shaving suggests that he possesses not only wit but also skillful hands. With its comic undertones and buffa style, "The Barber of Seville" continues to captivate audiences worldwide. This print allows us to glimpse into the world created by Caron de Beaumarchais and brought to life through Gustave Staal's lens – an unforgettable portrayal of
