Francois Philippe as Salvator in Les Freres Invisibles: A Theatrical Masterpiece of the 19th Century This handcoloured lithograph showcases Francois Philippe in the role of Salvator in the theatrical production of Les Freres Invisibles, which premiered at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris in 1819. The play, written by Anne-Honore-Joseph Duveyrier and Eugene Scribe, was a collaboration between the genres of ballet, music, and melodrama. The image, produced by F. Noel and based on an illustration by Lavigne Marin, portrays Philippe in a dramatic pose, with his arms outstretched and a determined expression on his face. The title "Salvator" is inscribed above his head, emphasizing his character's role as a savior. The brothers, or invisible, are a central theme of the play, and this image captures the intrigue and mystery surrounding their identities. Les Freres Invisibles was a groundbreaking production for its time, combining various theatrical elements to create a unique and engaging experience for audiences.
