EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases French actor Pierre-Martinien Tousez, famously known as Bocage, in the role of King Philippe Auguste from the play "Agnes de Maranie" by Hippolyte Lazerges. The production was staged at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris during 1846. Bocage's portrayal of Philippe Auguste was a testament to his exceptional talent and versatility as an actor. The intricately detailed illustration, created by Alexandre Lacauchie, captures the regal presence and authority of Bocage as Philippe Auguste. The king is depicted in full regalia, wearing a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate embroidery and a crown upon his head. His stern expression and commanding posture convey the power and wisdom of the monarch. The lithograph is an exquisite example of the theatrical art of the time, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. It was published as part of Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," a collection that documented the costumes and performances of the most renowned actors of the Parisian stage. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre and the enduring legacy of Bocage's remarkable career. His portrayal of Philippe Auguste continues to captivate audiences and serve as a reminder of the power of live performance to transport us to other worlds and times.
