EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the renowned French actor, Charles Francois Grandville, in the role of Lisimon from the play "Le Glorieux" at the Theatre Francais in Paris, in 1824. The image was created by the skilled hands of Nericault Destouches, with the illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin and the lithography by F. Noel. Grandville, a celebrated figure in the French theatrical world, masterfully portrays Lisimon, a character from the historical play "Le Glorieux," which tells the story of the heroic knight, Geoffroy de Charny. In this scene, Lisimon, dressed in a richly decorated costume, is shown in a moment of intense emotion, with a serious expression and a hand raised to his chest. The intricate details of the stage setting and the elaborate costume design are beautifully captured in this print, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the Theatre Francais during the early 19th century. The use of handcolouring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the image, making it a stunning work of art in its own right. This print is a testament to the talent and creativity of the artists involved, as well as the enduring appeal of live theatre. It is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the world of French theatre during a time when the art form was at the height of its popularity and influence. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its artistic merit, this print is a true treasure for anyone with an interest in the history of theatre or the works of Grandville and his contemporaries.
