Painting Description
John Philip Kemble as Rolla in Pizarro is an iconic oil painting by the renowned British portrait artist Sir Thomas Lawrence. Created in 1799, the painting depicts the celebrated English actor John Philip Kemble in the role of Rolla, a character from Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play "Pizarro." The play itself is an adaptation of the German dramatist August von Kotzebue's work "Die Spanier in Peru oder Rollas Tod" (The Spaniards in Peru or The Death of Rolla) and was a popular theatrical piece at the time, which premiered in London in 1799.
The painting is a testament to Lawrence's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the dramatic intensity of theatrical performances. John Philip Kemble, a leading figure in the British theatre, is portrayed in a moment of high drama, embodying the heroic and self-sacrificial character of Rolla. The work is characterized by its dynamic composition, the emotional expressiveness of Kemble's pose and facial expression, and the skillful use of lighting to enhance the theatrical effect.
Sir Thomas Lawrence, a leading portraitist of the Regency era, was known for his ability to convey the personality and stature of his subjects. His depiction of Kemble as Rolla is no exception, offering a glimpse into the actor's powerful stage presence and the romantic idealism of the period's theatrical style. The painting not only serves as a historical record of Kemble's performance but also exemplifies the artistic and cultural trends of late 18th-century Britain.
John Philip Kemble as Rolla in Pizarro holds a significant place in the history of British art and theatre. It is a work that captures the intersection of fine art and the performing arts during a vibrant period of cultural expression. The painting is housed in a notable collection and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and its portrayal of one of the era's most influential theatrical figures.
