"Tragedian: Masters of the Dramatic Arts" Step into a world where emotions run deep and stories unfold with gripping intensity. From the iconic scenes of Les Miserables to the timeless works of Sophocles and Shakespeare, these tragedians have left an indelible mark on the stage. In Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, Javert, the relentless detective, captivates audiences with his unwavering pursuit of justice. Through an engraving, we witness his stoic determination etched in every line. Sophocles, the Greek playwright extraordinaire, transports us to ancient tragedies that explore humanity's darkest depths. His profound insights continue to resonate through generations. William Shakespeare needs no introduction; his engravings depict him as a master storyteller whose words have shaped theatrical history. Each stroke captures his genius and immortalizes characters like never before. The escape scene from Les Miserables showcases Thenardiers' cunning nature in a captivating black-and-white engraving. Their treacherous actions leave us breathless as we delve deeper into their web of deceit. Francois Boucher's enchanting illustration for Moliere's Le depit amoureux takes us back to 18th-century France. The intricate engravings bring forth love's complexities and comedic misunderstandings that keep audiences entertained even today. Scapin's Furries by Moliere brings laughter through its illustrations depicting Silvestre brandishing his sword while Argante hides behind Scapin. This scene has become one of the most beloved moments in theatre history due to its humorous chaos. A lithograph from Midsummer Night's Dream transports us into Shakespearean whimsy filled with fairies and mischief under moonlit skies. Its ethereal beauty enchants both young and old alike. The title page of Moliere's works in 1734 showcases an engraved masterpiece capturing the essence of this renowned playwright.
