Asleep Bowing Buffa Deceit Fonds Rondel Fooled Guardian Le Barbier De Seville Lover Message Pupil Role Skull Cap Trick Trickery Tutor Ward Lovers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the renowned opera, "The Barber of Seville" based on Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais' play. The image showcases three central characters: Rosine, Bartholo, and Count Almaviva. Illustrated by Alfred Leon Lemercier in the 19th century, this lithograph beautifully depicts the complex relationships between these individuals. Intriguingly, Rosine appears as a young ward under the guardianship of Bartholo. Meanwhile, Count Almaviva assumes various disguises to win her heart. The composition exudes an air of secrecy and mischief as we witness Rosine's guardian asleep with a skull cap while she receives a hidden message from her lover. The costumes worn by the actors add depth to their roles, transporting us into the Spanish setting of this comedic tale. As we observe Count Almaviva bowing before Rosine and kissing her hand, it becomes evident that trickery is at play here – love disguised as deceit. Through Lemercier's artistic lens, we are transported into an interior space filled with intrigue and passion. The fonds rondel technique used in this lithograph adds texture and dimension to each character's expression. This evocative image encapsulates not only the essence of "The Barber of Seville" but also highlights themes such as love, deception, comedy, and human connection within its intricate storyline.
