EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the renowned French actor Pierre Clozel (1772-1840) in the title role of Charles Scavronski from the play "Menuisier de Livonie" (Carpenter of Livonia) by Alexandre Duval. The image was produced as part of the Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles (Charles Malos Almanac of Spectacles) and published by Louis Janet in Paris in 1820. Clozel's portrayal of Scavronski, a humble carpenter who rises to power and ultimately falls from grace, was a critically acclaimed performance that took place at the prestigious Odeon Theatre in Paris. The intricately detailed engraving captures the intensity and emotion of Clozel's acting, with his expressive face and animated body language conveying the complexities of the character. The play, which was originally written in German by Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin, was a popular staple of European theatre during the Romantic era. The production at the Odeon Theatre marked a significant moment in Clozel's illustrious career, solidifying his reputation as one of the most talented and versatile actors of his time. The handcoloured copperplate engraving is a beautiful and rare artifact of this theatrical moment, providing a glimpse into the world of 19th century French theatre and the captivating performances of its most celebrated actors.
