Pauline Virginie Dejazet as Gentil Bernard: A Theatrical Masterpiece of 19th Century France This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the enchanting performance of French actress Pauline Virginie Dejazet as Gentil Bernard in the play "L'Art d'aimer" (The Art of Loving) at the Theatre des Varietes in Paris, 1846. The production was a collaboration between Philippe-Francois Dumanoir and Clairville. Dejazet's portrayal of Gentil Bernard, a transvestite dragoon, defied gender norms and captivated audiences with her dramatic flair and captivating presence. The military uniform she dons in this illustration, created by Alexandre Lacauchie, adds to the intrigue and allure of her character. The lithograph, published in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris," showcases Dejazet's elegance and sophistication, despite the unconventional role she played. Her expressive face and piercing gaze convey the depth of emotion required for the part, making this image a testament to her exceptional talent. Pauline Virginie Dejazet's groundbreaking performance as Gentil Bernard challenged societal expectations and paved the way for future theatrical innovations. This lithograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre and the extraordinary artists who shaped it.
