"The Tragic Actor" (also known as "Portrait of Rouvière as Hamlet") is an 1866 painting by the French artist Édouard Manet. The work is a striking example of Manet's portraiture, in which he captures the essence of his subjects with bold brushwork and a nuanced understanding of character. The painting depicts the actor Philibert Rouvière in the role of Hamlet, a part he famously performed. Rouvière's intense gaze and the dramatic use of lighting emphasize the emotional depth of the character he portrays, while Manet's loose and expressive technique underscores the transient nature of a theatrical performance.

Manet, a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism, was known for his modern approach to painting and his interest in capturing contemporary life. "The Tragic Actor" is a testament to this, as it bridges the gap between the portrayal of a real person and the fictional character they embody. The painting is also notable for its departure from the traditional grandeur of historical and mythological subjects, instead offering a candid representation of a modern individual in a contemporary setting.

The artwork is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and remains an important piece within Manet's oeuvre, reflecting his innovative approach to portraiture and the modernist movement's embrace of everyday subjects. "The Tragic Actor" continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its insightful depiction of the complexities of identity and performance.
