EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases Vincent Alfred Baron in the iconic role of Piquillo in the popular French play "L'Étoile du Berger," which premiered at the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique in Paris in 1846. The production was a collaboration between Anicet Bourgeois and Adolphe d'Ennery, with scenic design by Alexandre Lacauchie. Baron, a renowned actor of the time, masterfully portrays the mischievous and impish character of Piquillo, a shepherd boy who falls in love with the beautiful star of the show, Rosette, played by the famous actress Mademoiselle Lasalle. The image captures the moment of Piquillo's discovery of Rosette's true identity, as he hides behind a tree, peering at her in awe. The intricately detailed lithograph, published in Victor Dollet's "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Théâtres de Paris," offers a glimpse into the elaborate costumes and theatrical production of the time. The rich colors and textures bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the 19th century and the world of French theatre. Baron's expressive face and body language convey the depth of emotion and excitement that Piquillo feels in this pivotal moment, making this print a true treasure for anyone interested in the history of French theatre and the art of acting.
