EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mlle Desmares as Thalia, the Muse of Comedy, in a stunning oil on canvas masterpiece by Antoine Coypel. Painted around 1720, this artwork captures the essence of the renowned French actress Charlotte Desmares (1682-1753) during her prime years at Comedie Francaise in Paris. Known for her versatility and talent, Mlle Desmares made her stage debut at just eight years old and retired from acting in 1721. Celebrated for both comic and tragic roles, she became a star of the theatre with her exceptional performances. In this portrait, we see Mlle Desmares wearing a mask that symbolizes comedy while sporting a radiant smile. The flowers adorning her hair add an elegant touch to her appearance, emphasizing her status as a celebrity of the time. With its buxom figure and dagger-like gaze, this painting beautifully represents the allure and charm that made Mlle Desmares such an iconic figure in 18th-century France. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance of expression on her face, capturing both grace and playfulness simultaneously. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where theater was alive with passion and creativity. It serves as a reminder of Mlle Desmares' immense contribution to French culture during the XVIII century when she reigned supreme on stage.
