EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned French actress Gabrielle Rejane, also known as Madame Rejane, in her iconic role as Madame Sans-Gene. The image, captured by the talented artist Aubrey Beardsley in 1894, beautifully captures the essence of both Rejane's performance and Beardsley's art nouveau style. Rejane made her London debut at the Gaiety Theatre on June 24th, 1894, portraying Catherine in "Madame Sans Gene" a play written by Victorien Sardou and Emile Moreau. Dressed in an exquisite empire gown with delicate details and holding a fan gracefully in her hand, Rejane exudes elegance and poise. Beardsley's illustration skillfully combines elements of graphic design with his unique artistic vision. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image while emphasizing Rejane's expressive features. His use of black and white enhances the dramatic atmosphere surrounding this celebrated actress. This print is part of "The Best of Beardsley" collection edited by R. A. Walker from The Bodley Head publishing house in London (1948). It serves as a testament to both Beardsley's talent as an illustrator and Rejane's exceptional acting skills during the decadent movement of the late 19th century. With this photograph, viewers are transported back to a time when theater was at its peak, showcasing not only remarkable performances but also extraordinary fashion choices that defined an era.
