EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the renowned French actor, Francois Joseph Talma (1763-1826), in the title role of Manlius Capitolinus as depicted by Antoine de la Fosse at the Theatre Francais in Paris. The image, taken from Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles par K. et Z published by Janet in 1818, captures Talma's intense and passionate portrayal of the ancient Roman hero. Manlius Capitolinus is a tragic play based on the historical figure of Marcus Manlius Capitolinus, a plebeian who defied the patrician class and was eventually put on trial for treason. Talma's powerful performance in this play solidified his reputation as one of the greatest actors of his time. The intricate details of the engraving, with its rich colours and fine lines, beautifully convey the drama and emotion of the scene, transporting us back to the Theatre Francais in the early 19th century. Francois Joseph Talma's impact on the French stage was profound, and his portrayal of Manlius Capitolinus remains a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft.
