Marie Julie Pitron as Mariette in Le Chamboran
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning handcoloured lithograph depicting the renowned French actress in the title role of Victor Dollet's play, which premiered at the Théâtre des Vatietes in Paris in 1844. The image, captured by the skilled hands of Leuven and Siraudin, is based on an illustration by Louis Lasalle for Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris. Marie Julie Pitron (1814-1883), born Marie Julie Carré, was a celebrated actress of the Romantic era, known for her exceptional talent and captivating stage presence. In Le Chamboran, she portrayed Mariette, a character from a popular folk tale about a young girl who is abducted by fairies and taken to their magical kingdom. The play was a great success, and Pitron's performance as Mariette was widely acclaimed. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of the character, with Pitron wearing an elaborate and intricately designed costume that reflects the magical and otherworldly nature of the fairy kingdom. Her expressive face and gestures convey the emotion and drama of the role, making this image a testament to her extraordinary talent and the power of the theatre during this period. The image is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the world of French theatre in the mid-19th century and the role of actresses like Marie Julie Pitron in shaping the cultural landscape of the time. It is a reminder of the enduring power of drama and the art of performance, as well as the importance of preserving the rich history of the theatre for future generations.
