Mlle. Sanxay as Hebe in Les Dieux de l'Olympe a Paris (1846): A Vision of Mythological Splendor on the Parisian Stage This handcoloured lithograph depicts the renowned French actress Mlle. Sanxay in the role of Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth, from the Parisian spectacle Les Dieux de l'Olympe a Paris, staged at the Théâtre du Vaudeville in 1846. The production, directed by Clairville, brought the mythological world to life on the Parisian stage with grandeur and elegance. Mlle. Sanxay's portrayal of Hebe is particularly noteworthy, as she is dressed as a cantinière, or sutler, adding an intriguing twist to the traditional representation of the goddess. The illustration, created by Alexandre Lacauchie and published in Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris, offers a fascinating glimpse into the theatrical fashion of the time. In this image, Mlle. Sanxay is seen holding a tray laden with fruits and flowers, her expression radiant and full of youthful energy. The intricate details of her costume, from the golden laurel wreath adorning her head to the delicate folds of her gown, are expertly captured in the handcoloured lithograph. The backdrop of the Olympian gods and goddesses further emphasizes the mythological setting of the production. This image not only showcases the extraordinary talent of Mlle. Sanxay as an actress but also highlights the artistry and creativity that went into the costumes and productions of the Parisian theatre during the mid-19th century. The fusion of mythology, drama, and fashion continues to captivate audiences and scholars alike, making this lithograph a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of theatre, costume design, or the arts.
