EDITORS COMMENTS
Joseph David as Idamore in Le Paria, 1821: A Theatrical Portrait of Passion and Romance This handcoloured lithograph depicts the renowned French actor Joseph David in the title role of Idamore from the tragic play 'Le Paria' by Casimir Delavigne. The image was produced in 1825 by F. Noel, based on an illustration by Alexandre Marie Colin Lavigne Marin. The portrait was originally published in the collection 'Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles.' In this production at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris, Joseph David masterfully portrayed Idamore, a character driven by an all-consuming passion for the beautiful and virtuous Zulma, played by Mademoiselle Mars. Idamore's unwavering love for Zulma is tested when he learns that she is a paria, or an outcast, in her society. Despite this revelation, Idamore remains steadfast in his devotion, ultimately sacrificing his own life to protect her from the wrath of her community. The intricately detailed lithograph captures the intensity and depth of Joseph David's performance as Idamore. His expressive eyes convey a deep sense of longing and love, while the delicate shading and hues of the handcolouring bring the image to life. This portrait serves as a testament to the power of David's acting abilities and the enduring appeal of the tragic love story 'Le Paria.' The lithograph's intriguing composition and exquisite detail make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical theatrical portraits or art enthusiasts interested in the history of French theatre and the Romantic era.
