EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, entitled "Gaspard in Gaspard l'Avise" by Jean-Baptiste Radet, showcases the renowned French actor Adrien Jean Baptiste Mussat, known professionally as Joly, in a striking performance at the Theatre du Vaudeville in Paris during the early 19th century. The engraving, published in the Almanach des Spectacles par K. et Z in 1818, depicts Joly in the title role of Gaspard l'Avise, a play by Jean-François Marmontel. With a penetrating gaze and expressive facial features, Joly's portrayal of Gaspard, a wise and resourceful peasant, captivated audiences and solidified his reputation as a talented and versatile actor. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured fabric of Gaspard's cloak to the realistic rendering of the stage setting, transport us back in time to the elegant and sophisticated world of the Parisian theater during the Romantic era. This beautiful artwork is a testament to the enduring power of live performance and the artistry of the actors who brought these stories to life on the stage.
