Marie-Alexandre Alophe is an Impressionism artist. 13 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

French lithographer who printed theater stars on silky paper in the 1860s. His prints capture ballerinas in *La Sylphide* and *Marco Spada*, Mademoiselle Fiocre in a Florentine drama, and Mademoiselle Plunkett twirling a mantilla in *La Manola de la favorite*. Each sheet shows the dancer’s costume in sharp black ink against pale stone, with just a hint of rouge on the cheek. See how he framed the gaslit stage lights behind Mlle Taglioni’s floating arabesque at Paris’s Salle Le Peletier.
