EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases the renowned French actor, Milon, in the title role of Don Luis in the play "Ines, ou La Chute d'un Ministre" (Ines, or The Fall of a Minister) by Don Ramon de Navarrete. Performed at the Theatre Royal de L'Odeon in Paris in 1845, this theatrical masterpiece was based on a story by Victor Hugo and was a major success during the 19th century. Milon's portrayal of Don Luis, a powerful and corrupt minister who falls from grace due to his uncontrollable passion for the beautiful Ines, was a tour de force. The actor's intense expression and dramatic pose, as captured in this lithograph by Alexandre Lacauchie, perfectly convey the inner turmoil and emotional depth of the character. The intricately detailed costume design, which features a richly embroidered red velvet jacket and a white lace jabot, further enhances Milon's regal and commanding presence. The elaborate setting, with its ornate columns and grandiose decor, adds to the sense of opulence and grandeur. This lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century French theater. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the Theatre Royal de L'Odeon and allowing us to witness Milon's unforgettable performance as Don Luis.
