Armand as Henri V in La Jeunesse de Henri V
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-colored lithograph depicting the renowned French actor, Armand Benoit Roussel, in the title role of Shakespeare's King Henry V. The image, created by Alexandre Duval for Theatre Francais in Paris in 1825, is an exquisite example of theatrical portraiture from the 19th century. Armand, with his piercing gaze and expressive features, embodies the regal presence and determination of the young King Henry V. He is shown in the midst of a battle scene, clad in armor and brandishing a sword, reflecting the monarch's transformation from a wayward prince to a respected and revered ruler. The intricate details of the armor, the texture of the fabric, and the lifelike quality of Armand's features are all testament to the skill of the lithographer, F. Noel, and the illustrator, Alexandre-Marie Colin. The background of the print is filled with the chaos of war, with soldiers in various stages of combat, adding to the sense of drama and intensity. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the visual impact of the image, bringing the characters and the scene to life in vibrant and rich detail. This print is a valuable historical record of Armand's performance as Henri V in La Jeunesse de Henri V, a production that was highly acclaimed in its time and marked a significant milestone in the actor's career. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's plays and the art of theatrical portraiture in the 19th century.
