EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts the Statue of the Coquelin Brothers, located in their birthplace of Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. The brothers, Benoit-Constant Coquelin (1841-1909), known as "Coquelin aîné" or "Coquelin the Eldest," and Ernest Alexandre Honoré Coquelin (1848-1909), known as "Coquelin cadet" or "Coquelin the Younger," are celebrated figures in French comedy and theater history. The brothers, both born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, made their debut on the Parisian stage in the late 19th century and quickly rose to fame for their exceptional comedic talents. They were known for their ability to seamlessly switch between comedy and tragedy, often performing in Greek masks to emphasize the contrast. The statue, which dates back to circa 1910, captures the essence of their theatrical prowess. The larger-than-life figures are depicted with masks symbolizing their versatility, paying homage to their unique ability to master both comedic and tragic roles. The brothers' contributions to French theater are still celebrated today, and their legacy continues to inspire new generations of performers. Boulogne-sur-Mer is proud of its connection to the Coquelin Brothers, and the statue stands as a testament to their enduring impact on the world of comedy and theater. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the rich history of French entertainment and the lasting influence of these two remarkable brothers.
