EDITORS COMMENTS
The Theatre Doctor (plate 25), 1843, captured by Charles Emile Jacque, is a captivating black and white lithograph that transports us to the vibrant world of 19th-century theatre. In this intriguing image, we witness a scene unfolding backstage as a young woman seeks medical attention from a physician. The French text adorning the lithograph adds an air of authenticity and cultural richness to the artwork. It serves as a reminder of the artist's heritage and his contribution to the Barbizon School art movement in France during this period. Jacque skillfully depicts not only the characters but also their professions and roles within society. The doctor's focused expression reveals his dedication to healing while surrounded by stage props, emphasizing the theatrical setting. The young woman's vulnerability is palpable as she places her trust in his hands. This print offers us a glimpse into both entertainment and healthcare practices of that era, highlighting how these two seemingly distinct worlds intersected within the walls of playhouses. It reminds us that even behind alluring performances lay real people with real needs. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery or institute fortunate enough to possess it, let us appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Through Jacque's lithography technique on ivory wove paper, he immortalizes an intimate moment between two individuals against a backdrop rich with Western script lettering.
