EDITORS COMMENTS
Marie-Therèse Bourgouin as Roxelane in Les Trois Sultanes: A Captivating Portrayal of Love and Power in the Turkish Seraglio Marie-Therèse Bourgouin's portrayal of Roxelane in Les Trois Sultanes (The Three Sultanas) by Charles Simon Favart at the Théâtre Français in 1803, is a mesmerizing representation of the story of Hurrem, a Ukrainian girl who became Suleyman the Magnificent's sole and legal wife after being kidnapped for his harem. This handcoloured lithograph by F. Noel, based on an illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin from Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles (Portraits of Actors and Actresses in Different Roles), offers a glimpse into the grandeur and allure of the Turkish seraglio. The image captures Bourgouin's enchanting performance as Roxelane, with her intricately designed Turkish dress, adorned with rich fabrics, precious stones, and intricate embroidery. Her expressive eyes and confident posture convey the power and intelligence of a woman who rose from captivity to become the most influential figure in the Ottoman court. Favart's comedy, based on the true story of Hurrem, was a popular success during the Romantic era, and this image serves as a testament to the captivating performance of Bourgouin as Roxelane. The handcoloured lithograph by F. Noel further enhances the image's beauty and intrigue, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical theatre and portraiture. In this image, we see a fascinating blend of Eastern and Western influences, as Bourgouin's European features are accentuated by the exotic Turkish costume and setting. The result is a visually stunning representation of a powerful and complex historical figure, whose story continues to fascinate audiences to this day.
