EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the tragic figure of Sophonisbe, a character from the renowned play "Sophonisbe" written by the French dramatist Pierre Corneille in 1663. The play is based on the historical account of Sophonisbe, the noble Carthaginian princess who, in an attempt to save her city from destruction during the Second Punic War, offered herself as a bride to the Roman general Scipio Africanus. The scene captured in this photograph is believed to be from the fifth act of Corneille's play, where Sophonisbe, having been betrayed by Scipio, takes her own life in despair. The image shows Sophonisbe in a moment of profound sorrow, her eyes filled with tears, her hands clutched in despair, and her elegant attire disheveled. The background of the photograph is adorned with rich fabrics and ornate furnishings, emphasizing the opulence of the Carthaginian court and the grandeur of the tragic heroine. Corneille's "Sophonisbe" was first performed at the Théâtre du Marais in Paris on January 15, 1663, and was an instant success. The play's powerful and moving portrayal of love, betrayal, and sacrifice resonated deeply with the audience, and it remains a classic of French literature to this day. The character of Sophonisbe has been admired for her strength, courage, and unwavering loyalty to her city and her people, making her a timeless figure in the annals of theater history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and emotion of Corneille's masterpiece, and serves as a poignant reminder of the power of theater to transport us to another time and place, and to move us deeply with its stories of love, loss, and human emotion.
