EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Marie Duplessis at the Theatre transports us back to the glamorous world of 19th-century Parisian society. Painted by Camille-Joseph-Etienne Roqueplan, this watercolor on paper print captures the essence of a woman who became an icon in both literature and opera. Marie Duplessis, born Alphonsine, was a renowned courtesan whose life inspired Alexander Dumas fils' novel "La Dame aux Camelias" and Giuseppe Verdi's opera "La Traviata". In this image, she is depicted wearing an exquisite shawl, her eyes hidden behind a pair of delicate opera glasses. The artist skillfully portrays her as an enigmatic figure amidst the audience. Duplessis' association with camellias - symbolizing love and passion - is evident in this artwork. Her portrayal here evokes Marguerite Gautier, the tragic heroine from "La Dame aux Camelias" who captivated audiences with her beauty and vulnerability. This print not only showcases Roqueplan's artistic talent but also serves as a visual testament to Duplessis' enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the allure and mystique that surrounded one of history's most fascinating women.
