EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the enchanting Mlle. Louise Perigat as Melusine in "Le Ciel et L'Enfer" at the Ambigu Comique, a performance that surely captivated audiences in 19th century Paris. Known for her comedic talents, Mlle Periga brought this fairy tale character to life on stage with grace and charm.
Melusine, a mythical creature from European folklore, is depicted here in all her mystical glory, surrounded by elements of heaven and hell. The intricate details of her costume, meticulously captured by artist Alexandre Lacauchie, showcase the beauty and complexity of this character.
Mlle Perigat's portrayal of Melusine was not only entertaining but also deeply moving, as she navigated between the realms of light and darkness with finesse. It is no wonder that she caught the attention of none other than Victor Hugo himself, who took her under his wing to further hone her craft.
As we gaze upon this exquisite print from "Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris" dated 1853, we are transported back to a time when theater was truly magical. Mlle Louise Perigat's performance as Melusine reminds us of the power of storytelling and the enduring legacy of talented performers throughout history.
