Lucien Guitry (1860–1925) was a renowned French actor, known for his significant contributions to the theater during the Belle Époque. His portrayal of Coupeau in "L'Assommoir" by Émile Zola (1840–1902) in 1900 stands as a testament to his dramatic prowess. "L'Assommoir," a novel published in 1877, is the seventh installment in Zola's monumental "Les Rougon-Macquart" series, which delves into the lives of a fictional family during the Second French Empire. The novel is a stark depiction of alcoholism and poverty in the working-class districts of Paris.

In 1900, Guitry took on the role of Coupeau in a stage adaptation of Zola's novel. The character of Coupeau is a central figure in "L'Assommoir," a roofer who descends into alcoholism and despair, ultimately succumbing to its destructive effects. Guitry's performance was captured in a painting by the artist François-Gabriel Lépaulle, known as Sabourin, which immortalized his interpretation of the tragic character. This visual representation not only highlights Guitry's talent as an actor but also serves as a cultural artifact, reflecting the intersection of literature, theater, and visual arts at the turn of the 20th century.

Lucien Guitry's career spanned both stage and screen, and he was known for his versatility and charisma. His legacy includes not only his memorable performances but also his influence on the French theatrical scene, including his role in mentoring his son, Sacha Guitry, who would become one of France's most celebrated playwrights and filmmakers. The painting by Sabourin, which depicts Lucien Guitry as Coupeau, remains an enduring image that captures the essence of Zola's gritty realism and the emotive power of Guitry's acting.
