EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases the renowned French bass opera singer, Roger, in the title role of Richard in the French grand opera "La Fronde." The image, created by the skilled artist Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1853, offers a glimpse into the rich history of French opera during the mid-19th century. Richard, a character from the opera by Henri-Montan Marmontel and Daniel Auber, is a nobleman who leads a rebellion against the king in the name of justice and freedom. In this powerful portrayal, Roger embodies the strength and determination of the character, donning an ornate and elaborate costume fit for a nobleman and a rebel leader. The intricate details of the costume, from the velvet fabric to the gold trim and embroidery, are brought to life through Lacauchie's masterful use of color. The backdrop of the image further enhances the dramatic effect, with the grandeur of the opera stage and the ornate decorations of the Academie Imperiale de Musique on full display. The use of handcoloring adds a layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art. Roger's portrayal of Richard in "La Fronde" was undoubtedly a memorable one, as evidenced by this stunning lithograph. The image serves as a testament to the artist's skill and the singer's talent, offering a glimpse into the world of French opera during a time when it was at the height of its popularity and influence. This historical artifact is a must-have for any opera or history enthusiast, providing a unique and captivating look into the past.
