EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Jean-Henri Gourgaud, known by his stage name Dugazon, as he portrays the painter Fougere in the renowned play "Intrigue Epistolaire". Produced at the prestigious Theatre Francais in Paris in 1799, this colorful engraving showcases Dugazon's remarkable talent and theatrical prowess. "Intrigue Epistolaire" a comedy written by P. F. N. Fabre d'Eglantine and first performed on June 15,1791, takes center stage with its five acts filled with wit and charm. In this particular scene depicted here, Dugazon's character finds himself under attack from royalists. However, armed with his sword and quick-witted banter, he skillfully defends himself against their assault. Dugazon's real-life experiences as an aide-de-camp to French revolutionary leader Francois Hanriot add depth to his portrayal of Fougere. After Hanriot's demise alongside Robespierre in 1794, Dugazon faced personal danger from those opposed to the revolution. The resilience he displayed during these turbulent times is mirrored in his performance on stage. The artist behind this enchanting engraving is Maleuvre—a testament to their mastery of capturing movement and emotion through their work. This image not only immortalizes a pivotal moment within "Intrigue Epistolaire" but also pays homage to both Dugazon's acting skills and his ability to defend himself amidst chaos. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back to a time when theater was truly alive—a world where artistry met bravery on the grandest stages imaginable.
