EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning portrait of Adrienne Lecouvreur as Cornelia in Corneille's "La Mort de Pompée" from 1730. The image, created by Pierre Imbert Drevet, showcases the talent and beauty of this renowned French actress. Adrienne Lecouvreur, a prominent figure in 18th-century France, was known for her exceptional skills on stage. In this portrayal of Cornelia Metella, she exudes grace and elegance with every delicate feature captured by Drevet's engraving technique. The third state of three prints reveals the intricate details that make this piece truly remarkable. From the fine lines etched into her gown to the subtle expression on her face, every element tells a story of passion and dedication to her craft. As an actress mourns over an urn filled with ashes, we are reminded of the ephemeral nature of life itself. This concept is beautifully conveyed through Lecouvreur's poignant performance as she embodies grief and loss on stage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Lecouvreur's extraordinary talent but also Coypel Charles Antoine's masterful depiction of a character from ancient Roman history - Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus or Pompey the Great. In this portrait print, we witness a moment frozen in time - a testament to Adrienne Lecouvreur's legacy as one of France's most celebrated actresses.
