EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases French actor Jean Gauthier in the iconic role of Sully from the play "Henri IV" by Victor Hugo, staged at the Cirque Olympique in Paris in 1846. The production was a collaboration between Amable de Saint-Hilaire and Michel Delaporte, with costumes designed by Alexandre Lacauchie and Louis Lasalle for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris. Gauthier's portrayal of Sully, a loyal and wise advisor to King Henry IV, is brought to life in this stunning handcoloured lithograph. The intricate details of his costume, including the rich velvet fabric, elaborate embroidery, and ornate collar, are beautifully rendered in the illustration by Lacauchie. The theatrical setting of the Cirque Olympique is evoked through the use of dramatic lighting and the grandeur of the stage design. This lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, offering a glimpse into the world of French theatre during the mid-19th century. The collaboration between the various artists and theaters involved in producing this production resulted in a visually stunning and memorable performance, as captured in this exquisite print.
