1845 Bernhardt Priestess Sarah 1923 Performing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt in the role of Iseyl, the priestess, during a performance in 1903. Bernhardt, born in 1844, was a trailblazing figure in the world of theatre, known for her bold and innovative acting style. In this image, she exudes an air of mysticism and otherworldliness, with her fiery red hair cascading down her shoulders and her piercing gaze fixed on an unseen audience. The production of Iseyl marked a significant moment in Bernhardt's career, as it was one of her most critically acclaimed and financially successful roles. The play, which was based on a story from the ancient Middle East, allowed Bernhardt to showcase her versatility as an actress, as she portrayed the complex and transformative character of Iseyl with depth and nuance. This photograph, taken in 1903, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when theatre was a major cultural force and Sarah Bernhardt was at the height of her powers. The image is a testament to Bernhardt's enduring legacy as one of the greatest actresses in history, and a reminder of the power of live performance to captivate and inspire. This photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the life and career of a true theatrical icon. The image, taken in 1903, was likely used in promotional materials for the production, but it also serves as a beautiful and evocative work of art in its own right.
