EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the character of Don Rodrigue in the tragi-comedie Le Cid, a renowned play by Corneille. The drawing, created by Edmond Aime Florentin Geffroy and engraved by Colin, beautifully captures the essence of this iconic character. Don Rodrigue is depicted here in his elaborate costume, exuding an air of confidence and determination. His regal attire reflects his noble status while also hinting at the dramatic events that unfold throughout the play. The intricate details of his clothing are brought to life through Geffroy's skilled hand, showcasing every fold and embellishment. The composition itself adds to the overall impact of this image. Don Rodrigue stands tall against a backdrop reminiscent of a grand theater stage, emphasizing his importance as a central figure in this tragicomedy. The inclusion of a crow perched on one side adds an intriguing element to the scene, perhaps symbolizing both wisdom and impending doom. Dating back to 1884 Paris, this print serves as a testament to both historical theatrical productions and artistic craftsmanship during that era. Preserved within private collections for decades, it offers viewers today an opportunity to appreciate not only Corneille's timeless work but also Geffroy's talent as an artist. Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this remarkable piece through photography, allowing us all to admire its beauty even from afar. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported into another world
