EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Fleury, the renowned Belgian actress, gracefully embodies the character of Suzanne in the popular play "La Famille Glinet" at the Odeon Theatre in Paris during the 1818 season. This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving by Merville, published in Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles, captures a pivotal moment in the production. Mlle. Fleury's expressive face and poised body language convey the depth of emotion and nuance required for her role. The intricate details of her elegant costume, complete with a flowing shawl and ornate headdress, further enhance the authenticity of the scene. The stage setting, with its ornate backdrop and the presence of other actors in the background, underscores the theatricality of the performance. "La Famille Glinet," a play that combined elements of drama, comedy, and satire, was a staple of the Parisian stage during the 19th century. Mlle. Fleury's portrayal of Suzanne was widely acclaimed for her ability to captivate audiences with her emotional intensity and comedic timing. This engraving serves as a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of live theatre during this period. The Odeon Theatre, located in the heart of Paris, was a hub of artistic and cultural activity during the 19th century. It was known for its innovative productions and attracted a diverse audience, including members of the aristocracy and the middle class. This engraving offers a glimpse into the rich history of French theatre and the enduring legacy of Mlle. Fleury's remarkable career.
