EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle Louise Perigat, also known as Periga, captivates the audience in this handcoloured lithograph as the mythical character Melusine in Le Ciel et L'Enfer at the Ambigu Comique theatre in Paris, 1853. Periga was a renowned comic actress of her time, known for her versatility and engaging performances. Her career began in the 1830s, and she later received coaching from the renowned poet and dramatist Victor Hugo. The image, created by the skilled hand of Alexandre Lacauchie, showcases Periga's enchanting portrayal of Melusine, a water nymph from medieval folklore. Melusine is depicted with her iconic serpent's tail, which she hides from her human husband on Saturdays. The intricate details of her costume, with its shimmering scales and flowing fabric, add to the allure of this mystical figure. This lithograph is part of the Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris collection, which documents the rich history of theatrical costumes in Paris during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail in the production design and Periga's expressive performance make this image a testament to the artistry and creativity of the time. Mlle Periga's portrayal of Melusine in Le Ciel et L'Enfer was undoubtedly a memorable one, leaving a lasting impression on audiences and contributing to her successful career as a comic actress in Parisian theatre.
