EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases an advertisement for the renowned play "Theodora" by Victorien Sardou at the Theatre de La Porte Saint-Martin in Paris. Created by a French School artist in the 19th century, this colour lithograph is now part of a private collection. "Theodora" written by Sardou, tells the dramatic story of Theodora, a Byzantine empress who rose from humble beginnings as a lion tamer's daughter to become the powerful wife of Emperor Justinian. The play premiered in 1884 with legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt taking on the title role, adding further allure to its already intriguing narrative. In this image, we see an exquisite portrayal of Sarah Bernhardt as Theodora, capturing her commanding presence and undeniable talent. The use of vivid colors brings life to the scene and emphasizes the grandeur associated with both Bernhardt's performance and the historical setting. As we admire this piece, it transports us back to a time when theatre was truly an art form that captivated audiences with its compelling stories and exceptional performances. It serves as a reminder of how influential plays like "Theodora" were in shaping cultural experiences during the late 19th century. Through Barbara Singer's expert photography skills, she has preserved this remarkable artwork for future generations to appreciate. This print allows us to delve into history while celebrating both artistic brilliance and theatrical excellence.
