EDITORS COMMENTS
Thermidor (Act I) captures the essence of French drama and controversy in the 19th century. This colour lithograph, created by an anonymous French School artist, depicts a scene from Victorien Sardou's play 'Thermidor' as it was staged at the prestigious Comedie-Francaise. The image transports us to the banks of the picturesque River Seine in France, where a boat glides gracefully through its waters. The boat represents both transportation and symbolism within this theatrical masterpiece. As we delve into Act I, we witness a riveting tale unfold against the backdrop of the French Revolution. Sardou's play explores themes of political upheaval and revolution during one of France's most tumultuous periods. It delves deep into human emotions and societal conflicts that arise when power is challenged. The controversial nature of 'Thermidor' made it an instant sensation among theatre-goers in 1891. This print not only showcases exceptional artistic talent but also serves as a window into French culture and entertainment during this era. It reminds us of how theatre has always been a powerful medium for storytelling and social commentary. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us be transported back to a time when drama unfolded on stage, capturing hearts and minds alike with its gripping narrative.
