EDITORS COMMENTS
a timeless opera by the French composer Georges Bizet, is brought to life in this illustration from the September 16, 1901 issue of "Album des Maîtres de l'Caricature." This scene is taken from Act III, where the titular character, Carmen, leads a procession of women in a passionate and defiant march. The illustration, created by the renowned French artist Lucien Marie-François Métivet, masterfully captures the intensity and emotion of the moment. Carmen, depicted in the center, is shown with her signature fiery red hair, a seductive smile, and a determined look in her eyes. She leads the women, all dressed in red, as they march in unison, their faces expressing a range of emotions from anger to excitement. The background of the illustration is filled with the chaos and energy of the scene. Soldiers can be seen in the distance, trying to maintain order, but the women are too consumed by their passion to be deterred. The vibrant colors and bold lines of the illustration bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer into the heart of the action. "Carmen" is an opera that continues to captivate audiences with its powerful storytelling and memorable music. This illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of the opera and the artistry of its creator, Lucien Marie-François Métivet. It is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Carmen and her passionate followers.
