Scene from the Play of "Fiesco", at Drury-Lane Theatre, [London], 1850....the last scene of "Fiesco, " painted by Mr. Brunning, and representing the Galley in the Harbour and Port of Genoa, at night, in endeavouring to gain which the hero of the drama is assassinated by the Republican Verrina, we may be excused for re-directing attention to Mr. Vandenhoff's fine impersonation of the character. It stood out in relief from the beginning of the play. In the scene in which he declares the attempted outrage upon his daughter, the ancient Roman reappeared in the actor, and Virginius himself never looked nobler. Mr. Vandenhoff's attitudes and declamation were alike grand and impressive. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a scene from the play of "Fiesco" performed at the Drury-Lane Theatre in London during the year 1850. The creator of this image remains unknown, but the scene portrayed is described as the last one in which the titular character, Fiesco, is assassinated by Verrina, a Republican. The setting is the Galley in the Harbour and Port of Genoa, at night. The focus of the image, however, is on the remarkable performance of the actor, Mr. Vandenhoff, who embodied the character of Fiesco. His portrayal of the ancient Roman was unforgettable, with his grand and impressive declarations and noble attitudes. The scene in which Fiesco reveals the attempted outrage upon his daughter brought the character of Virginius to life, and Mr. Vandenhoff's interpretation surpassed all expectations. The full moon illuminates the scene, adding an otherworldly quality to the image, while the astral bodies of the solar system can be seen in the night sky above. The print offers a glimpse into the world of Victorian theatre, where actors brought stories to life on the stage, captivating audiences with their performances.
