EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Harriet Constance Smithson, an Irish actress whose talent and beauty captivated audiences in the early 19th century. In 1827, she made her mark in Paris with unforgettable performances as Ophelia in Hamlet and Juliet in Romeo and Juliet. It was during this time that the renowned French composer Hector Berlioz fell deeply enamoured of her. Their love story unfolded against a backdrop of drama both on and off the stage. Despite their cultural differences - Harriet being Irish and Berlioz being French - they defied societal norms by marrying in 1833. Their union, however, was not destined to last forever, as they eventually separated in 1841. This engraving captures a moment frozen in time when two artistic souls collided, leaving an indelible mark on each other's lives. The intensity of their connection is palpable through Harriet's striking gaze and elegant posture. Harriet Constance Smithson remains an icon of British theatre history, remembered for her exceptional talent that transcended borders. This print serves as a testament to her legacy as well as the enduring power of art to forge profound connections between individuals from different backgrounds.
