EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the renowned French actor, Charles Emmanuel Lepeintre (1782-1854), in his iconic role as Franc-coeur in the play "Les Moissoneurs" at the Theatre des Varietes in Paris during the year 1821. The image, created by Francis, Brazier, and Dumersan, beautifully captures the intensity and emotion of Lepeintre's performance. "Les Moissoneurs," a play by Jean-Francois Marmontel, tells the tragic story of a shepherd, Franc-coeur, who is torn between his love for two sisters. The engraving portrays Lepeintre in a moment of deep contemplation, his expressive face revealing the inner turmoil of his character. The intricate details of his costume, with its rich textures and vibrant colors, add to the overall allure of the image. The Theatre des Varietes, a popular Parisian theater during the early 19th century, was known for its innovative productions and talented actors. Lepeintre, a leading figure in French theater, was a frequent performer at the venue, and his portrayal of Franc-coeur was highly acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. This engraving, published in Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles par K. Y. Z, offers a glimpse into the world of French theater during the Romantic era, showcasing the artistry and passion of its most celebrated actors.
