EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the renowned French singer and author, Marius-Pierre Audran, in the role of Don Fernand from the opera "Ne Touchez pas a la Reine" (Do Not Touch the Queen) by Xavier Boisselot, performed at the Theatre Royal de l'Opera Comique in Paris during 1846. The production was based on the popular play by Prosper Merimee, and Audran's dual talents as both a performer and a writer made him an ideal choice for the lead role. The lithograph, an exquisite example of the theatrical art of the time, was produced by Victor Dollet's Galerie Dramatique and illustrated by Alexandre Lacauchie. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulent costumes and elaborate staging of the Parisian theatre scene during the mid-19th century. Audran's portrayal of Don Fernand, a character known for his passion and determination, is rendered in intricate detail, with his expressive face and dramatic pose conveying the intensity of the role. The handcoloured lithograph process, a popular method for producing high-quality theatrical prints during this period, adds an extra layer of visual richness to the image. The vibrant colours and meticulous shading bring the production to life, transporting the viewer back in time to the grandeur of the Parisian opera. Marius-Pierre Audran's career spanned various artistic fields, including music, literature, and theatre, making him a versatile and influential figure in French culture. This lithograph serves as a testament to his talents and the enduring appeal of the Parisian operatic tradition.
