Madame Rejane, 1894 - A Captivating Portrait of French Actress Gabrielle Rejane
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures the essence of French actress Gabrielle Rejane in her iconic role as Catherine in "Madame Sans Gene". Created by renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley, this portrait showcases his deep admiration for the talented actress whom he knew personally. Originally published in The Yellow Book, Vol. II, this black and white illustration beautifully exemplifies Beardsley's distinctive art nouveau style. The intricate details and delicate lines bring out the grace and elegance that defined Madame Rejane's performances on stage. The significance of this particular print lies not only in its artistic value but also in its intriguing history. Beardsley sold it to Fredk. H. Evans for a mere £5 note, which unfortunately slipped from his pocket within half an hour. Despite this misfortune, the image has endured through time and is now featured in "The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A Walker. As we gaze upon Madame Rejane's full-length profile, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 19th-century theater. This portrait serves as a testament to both the talent of Gabrielle Rejane and Aubrey Beardsley's exceptional ability to capture beauty with his pen. With every line meticulously drawn, this artwork encapsulates an era when literature and performance intertwined seamlessly. It stands as a tribute to two great artists who left an indelible mark on their respective fields – one through her captivating acting skills and the other through his innovative graphic design. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only Madame Rejane's contribution to theater but also Aubrey Beardsley's enduring legacy as a master illustrator of his time.
