EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor on paper stage design is a captivating glimpse into the world of 19th-century opera, specifically Gioachino Rossini's "Robert Bruce," first performed in Paris in 1846. The design was created by the renowned French scenic painter, Charles-Antoine Cambon (1802-1875). The intricate detail and vibrant colors in this work of art transport us to the mystical and enchanting setting of the opera. The scene depicts a Scottish landscape with rugged cliffs, a stormy sea, and a moonlit sky. In the foreground, we see a group of warriors, led by the titular character, Robert Bruce, preparing for battle against the English invaders. The use of dramatic lighting and theatrical perspective creates a sense of tension and excitement, as if we are about to witness a pivotal moment in the story. Cambon's mastery of watercolor techniques is evident in the way he captures the textures of the rocks, the waves, and the warriors' costumes. The attention to detail extends to the smallest elements, such as the individual blades of grass and the intricate patterns on the warriors' plaid kilts. This stage design also provides a fascinating insight into the collaboration between the various artists and craftspeople involved in producing an opera production. The design would have been used as a guide for the set builders, costumers, and lighting designers, ensuring a cohesive and visually stunning final product. The Bibliotheque Nationale de France is fortunate to have this beautiful and historically significant work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into bringing Rossini's opera to life over 175 years ago.
