EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Marie Malibran, a renowned French-born Spanish mezzo-soprano, engraved by Richard James Lane in 1836. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this legendary opera singer, known for her extraordinary talent and tragic fate. Marie Malibran was hailed as one of the most famous opera singers of the 19th century. Her mesmerizing performances captivated audiences worldwide with her powerful voice and emotional depth.

She gazes through opera glasses with an air of confidence and poise that reflects her immense stage presence. The artist Alfred-Edward Chalon skillfully captures every detail of her expressive face, showcasing both vulnerability and strength. Richard James Lane's engraving technique adds depth to the image, emphasizing the intricate details of Marie Malibran's features and attire. This print is a testament to Lane's mastery as an engraver during that era. As we admire this remarkable artwork from a private collection, we are reminded not only of Marie Malibran's exceptional talent but also of the fleeting nature of life itself. It serves as a poignant tribute to an unforgettable performer who left an indelible mark on the world stage before departing too soon.
