EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Henriette Rosine Bernard, better known as Sarah Bernhardt, in her iconic role as "Hamlet" from Shakespeare's timeless tragedy. The year is 1899, and Bernhardt embodies the complex character of the Prince of Denmark with unparalleled grace and intensity.
In this striking image, Bernhardt holds the skull of Yorick, a powerful symbol of mortality and contemplation that plays a pivotal role in Hamlet's famous soliloquy. Her expression is one of deep introspection and melancholy, perfectly capturing the essence of Shakespeare's tortured protagonist.
Bernhardt was not only a talented actress but also a trailblazer for women in theatre. Her portrayal of traditionally male roles like Hamlet challenged societal norms and paved the way for future generations of female performers.
The Theatre des Nations serves as the backdrop for this historic moment, showcasing Paris as a hub for artistic innovation and creativity during the late 19th century. Through Patrice Cartier's lens, we are transported back in time to witness Bernhardt's transformative performance firsthand.
As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait, we are reminded of Sarah Bernhardt's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential actresses. Her portrayal of "Hamlet" continues to captivate audiences around the world, proving that great art knows no bounds.
