"L'acteur tragique" (The Tragic Actor) is a painting by the renowned French artist Édouard Manet, created in 1866. This work of art is a portrait of the French actor Philibert Rouvière in the role of Hamlet. The painting is a testament to Manet's interest in the theatrical world and his connection with contemporary cultural figures of his time. It showcases Manet's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and his innovative approach to portraiture, which often blurred the lines between realism and impressionism.

The painting is characterized by Manet's bold brushwork and a nuanced interplay of light and shadow, which serves to highlight the emotional intensity of the actor's expression. Rouvière's gaze is directed away from the viewer, suggesting a moment of introspection or a pause in performance, which adds to the dramatic effect of the piece. The use of a restricted palette, with dark tones dominating the composition, further emphasizes the somber mood appropriate to the tragic character of Hamlet.

"L'acteur tragique" is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its reflection of the cultural milieu of 19th-century Paris, where the worlds of visual art and theater were closely intertwined. The painting is a notable example of Manet's contribution to the development of modern art, as it exemplifies his departure from traditional historical and mythological subjects in favor of contemporary themes and his engagement with the Parisian society of his time.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its role in the evolution of modern painting. "L'acteur tragique" remains an important work in understanding Manet's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century French art.
