Légende

Scene from the Play of "Fiesco", at Drury-Lane Theatre, [London], 1850. '...the last scene of "Fiesco," painted by Mr. Brunning, and representing the Galley in the Harbour and Port of Genoa, at night, in endeavouring to gain which the hero of the drama is assassinated by the Republican Verrina, we may be excused for re-directing attention to Mr. Vandenhoff's fine impersonation of the character. It stood out in relief from the beginning of the play. In the scene in which he declares the attempted outrage upon his daughter, the ancient Roman reappeared in the actor, and Virginius himself never looked nobler. Mr. Vandenhoff's attitudes and declamation were alike grand and impressive.' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
