EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French actor Henri Louis Cain, also known as Lekain, in his iconic portrayal of Genghis Khan. The image captures a moment from the opera "L'Orphelin de Chine" by Voltaire, which premiered in 1769. Painted by Simon Bernard Le Noir, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 100x80 cm and is currently housed at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in France. Lekain's commanding presence is evident as he embodies the legendary Mongolian conqueror. Dressed in an exquisite plumed hat adorned with leopard print skin, he exudes power and authority. His intense gaze and regal posture convey both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Le Noir's masterful brushstrokes bring forth every intricate detail of Lekain's expression and costume. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Genghis Khan through his use of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth that adds to the dramatic impact of this portrait. This striking depiction not only pays homage to Lekain's exceptional acting skills but also highlights his ability to transform into diverse characters on stage. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when theater was celebrated for its ability to transport audiences into different worlds. As we admire this timeless piece captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, let us appreciate the artistry behind it while marveling at Lekain's talent for bringing historical figures
