Mlle Stephany Clara as Celanie in l'Ile des Noirs
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-colored lithograph depicting the renowned French actress, Stephany Clara, in the title role of Victor Hugo's tragic play, Celanie, performed at the Theatre du Vaudeville in Paris in 1828. The image, created by the skilled hands of Armand d'Artois and Xavier Boniface Saintine, was later published as part of the collection "Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles" by F. Noel. The intricately detailed lithograph showcases Clara's expressive face and elegant posture, embodying the sorrow and despair of Celanie, a woman wronged by her lover, Lavigne Marin, who is portrayed in the background, dressed in military attire. The setting, l'Ile des Noirs, or The Island of the Blacks, adds to the ominous atmosphere of the scene. Alexandre-Marie Colin's illustration, which served as the basis for this lithograph, masterfully captures the theatrical essence of the moment, with the actors' dramatic poses and the dimly lit stage. The hand-coloring further enhances the image, adding depth and richness to the costumes and setting. This exquisite piece of theatre history offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theatre and the captivating performances of its leading actresses. Mlle Stephany Clara's portrayal of Celanie in l'Ile des Noirs remains a testament to her talent and the enduring power of live theatre to evoke emotion and transport audiences to another world.
