EDITORS COMMENTS
Monsieur and Madame Blizet with Monsieur Le Roy the Actor, c. 1765" is a captivating artwork by the renowned French artist Louis de Carmontelle (1717-1806), also known as Carrogis Louis. This exquisite drawing, created during the 18th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of French theater and entertainment of that era. The composition features three figures: a couple, Monsieur and Madame Blizet, and a male actor, Monsieur Le Roy. The artist masterfully captured their lively interaction through the use of black chalk, gouache, and graphite on laid paper. Madame Blizet, elegantly dressed and holding a fan, looks on with amusement as her husband, Monsieur Blizet, strums a fiddle. The actor, Monsieur Le Roy, in his theatrical costume and holding a pipe, engages in a playful exchange with the couple, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century, showcasing the importance of music, theater, and entertainment in people's lives. The use of color and the intricate details in the figures' clothing and accessories add depth and texture to the drawing, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the depiction of everyday life during this period. This artwork is an essential addition to any art center or gallery, as it offers a unique perspective on the concept of entertainment and the role of music and theater in society during the 18th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is one such institution that is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing the public to appreciate the artistic talent of Louis de Carmontelle and the historical significance of his work.
