Madame Marie Dorval in Agnes de Meranie
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th-century portrait of the renowned French actress Marie Dorval, as she appeared in the title role of Victor Hugo's tragic play "Agnes de Meranie" at the Theatre Royal de l'Odeon in Paris. The photograph, taken by the celebrated French photographer Hippolyte Lazerges in 1846, captures Dorval's intense and expressive performance, making it an invaluable document of both the actress's art and the theatrical culture of the time. Born in 1801, Marie Dorval was a trailblazing figure in the French theater scene. Known for her ability to fully embody the characters she portrayed, she was particularly admired for her portrayal of tragic heroines. In "Agnes de Meranie," Dorval played the titular character, a noblewoman who is forced to marry an elderly and cruel nobleman, leading her to madness and ultimately, death. The photograph shows Dorval in the final moments of the play, with tears streaming down her face and an anguished expression on her face. Her costume, consisting of a flowing white gown and a crown of flowers, adds to the sense of tragedy and beauty. The backdrop of the photograph is simple, with a curtain and a few stage props visible, emphasizing the focus on Dorval's powerful performance. Hippolyte Lazerges was a prominent figure in French photography at the time, and his portrait of Dorval in "Agnes de Meranie" is considered one of his finest works. The photograph is a testament to the artistry of both the actress and the photographer, and remains an important piece of theater and photographic history.
