EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the beloved play "The Barber of Seville" by Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais. Engraved by Alfred Leon Lemercier in the 19th century, this illustration brings to life the intricate details of the story. In this particular moment, we witness a dramatic encounter between two cousins. The male character, Bartholo, is depicted as an old and elderly guardian figure wearing a skull cap. His face reveals anger and jealousy as he discovers a love message that was meant for his young ward, Rosine. Rosine herself is portrayed as a beautiful young woman dressed in an elegant costume. Holding a lute in her hands, she appears shocked and worried about being caught with the secret letter. The composition exudes tension and intrigue as these characters navigate their complex relationships. The artist's attention to detail shines through every element: from the expressions on their faces to the carefully crafted costumes. "The Barber of Seville" has become an iconic piece of literature turned opera by Gioacchino Rossini. This image serves as a visual representation of one of its most memorable scenes - capturing both the comic nature and underlying themes of jealousy that make it such a timeless work. Displayed against a dark background, this lithograph evokes nostalgia while highlighting Fragonard's skillful interpretation of these well-known characters. A true masterpiece preserved within Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal in Paris, France – reminding us all why
