Faust and Marguerite
Faust is tired of his old life and wants to kill himself. In a final burst of bitter anger, he invokes the devil. The devil appears in the guise of Mephistopheles and offers him a pact: he will grant him what he desires most in the world in exchange for his servitude. Faust asks him for youth and his help in seducing Marguerite. When he achieves his goal, bound by his contract with the devil, Faust abandons the latter who is waiting for her child. Filled with remorse, he returns to her, but kills Valentin, Marguerite's brother who tries to stop him, during a duel. He then tries to save the life of Marguerite who is imprisoned for infanticide, but he fails. Like this multifaceted character, the vocal treat-ment chosen by Gounod is differentiated: sometimes very lyrical with touching flights, sometimes very cold and repetitive to evoke her detachment from the world of men.
Marguerite is young and naive. She lets herself be seduced by the charming and mysterious character of Faust and thus causes her own downfall as well as that of her family (her brother and her child will die).
Hortense Richard (1858-1940)
Marie Sophie Hortense Jeanne Schrenk was born in Charonne in 1858, the natural daughter of Louise Christine Frederika Schrenk and an unnamed father. Her mother, a German born in Stuttgart, officially recognized her in August 1879. A few days later, Hortense married his fellow painter Désiré Alfred Magne.
On her death certificate, in 1940, it is mentioned that she is the daughter of a man named Jean Richard, whose surname she adopted as an artist’s name.
Hortense Richard learned painting with Delphine de Cool, James Bertrand, Jules Lefebvre and William Bouguereau at the Académie Julian in Paris.
She exhibited in Paris at the Salon of 1875 and then at the Salon des artistes français from 1909. She received an honourable mention at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889, then the Prix Maxime-David and a third class medal in 1892 where she caused a sensation with La Dormeuse, a painting on ivory of imposing size. She won a bronze medal at the 1900 Universal Exhibition. She exhibited until 1935.
She also presents her work at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and at the Woman’s Building, a pavilion dedicated to women that incorporates a hundred female art-ists from around the world during the Universal Exhibition of 1893 in Chicago.
She also painted on porcelain.
American artists Catherine Evans, Marie Preble and Rita Potron were his pupils as well as Louise Ferey.
She died a widow in 1940 at her home at 5 rue de Fontenay in Châtillon.
