EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a theatrical representation of "Charlotte Corday" by Francois Ponsard, a renowned French playwright. The scene depicted is from Act 3, where Charlotte Corday finds herself in the garden of the Royal Palace. The year is 1880, and this engraving was featured in "Le Monde Illustre" on November 6th. The image showcases the intricate scenography of the Parisian Theatre de l'Odeon, transporting viewers back to a time when live performances were highly anticipated events. The black and white aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and elegance to the composition. Charlotte Corday herself was a historical figure known for her role in the French Revolution. She assassinated Jean-Paul Marat, a prominent revolutionary leader, in his bathtub as an act of political protest. Ponsard's play explores her motivations and actions during this tumultuous period. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been preserved over time for its artistic value. It serves as both a testament to Ponsard's work as well as an intriguing glimpse into theater history. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captured this moment through his engraving technique, highlighting the details that bring this theatrical representation to life once again. As we admire this print today, we can appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its ability to transport us back to one evening at Theatre de l'Odeon in 1880.
