EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcolored lithograph, we find the renowned French ballet dancer, Mademoiselle Clarisse, brilliantly portraying the character of Sataniel in the fairy spectacle "Les Cinq Cents Diables" (The Five Hundred Devils) at the Theatre de la Gaite. The year was 1854, and the theatrical world was abuzz with excitement for this groundbreaking production by Dumanoir and Dennery. Mademoiselle Clarisse's exceptional talent and magnetic stage presence were not limited to the ballet stage alone. In this particular role, she donned the uniform of Comte de Pepinelli, a military character, adding another layer to her versatile acting abilities. The dashing uniform, complete with a red sash, gold epaulets, and a stern yet elegant expression, perfectly complemented her regal bearing and captivated the audience. The intricately detailed handcolored lithograph, created by the skilled artist Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, immortalizes this iconic moment in theatrical history. The meticulous attention to detail in the uniform design, the rich colors, and the dramatic lighting all contribute to the overall allure of this image. The Theatre de l'Opera-Comique, where "Les Cinq Cents Diables" was performed, was a renowned Parisian venue known for its innovative productions. Mademoiselle Clarisse's performance as Comte de Pepinelli/Sataniel was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the season, leaving a lasting impression on audiences and critics alike. This exquisite lithograph serves as a testament to her remarkable talent and the enduring legacy of the 19th-century French theatrical scene.
