EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph depicts the renowned French actor Theodore Therigny in the role of 'Le Lepreux' or The Beggar in the play 'Le Lepreux de la Vallée d'Aoste' by Aubigny, performed at the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin in Paris during 1822. The image is an exquisite reproduction of an original illustration by Alexandre-Marie Colin, as featured in his collection 'Portraits d'Acteurs et d'Actrices dans différents rôles' published by F. Noel in 1825. Theodore Therigny, a celebrated actor of the Romantic era, is depicted in character as the hunchbacked, mendicant Lepreux. His expressive face, filled with anguish and despair, captures the essence of the tragic figure. The intricate details of his costume, complete with a tattered cloak and a begging bowl, further emphasize his pitiful state. The atmospheric background, with its dimly lit, gothic architecture, adds to the overall sense of melancholy and mystery. This lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the period, with the delicate hand-coloring enhancing the depth and texture of the image. The collaboration between Aubigny, Therigny, Colin, and Noel resulted in a visual representation of the theatrical experience that continues to captivate audiences even today. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the world of 19th-century French theater and the remarkable talent of its performers.
