Théâtre Italien (Italian Theater) is a 1756 ink by Charles Germain de Saint-Aubin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this etching, a stage is set with a large archway adorned with flowers and vines. A butterfly-like creature stands in the center, while another is perched on the left side of the arch. The background is a light beige color. A small inscription at the bottom of the image reads "THEATRE ITALIEN," suggesting that the scene is from an Italian theater performance. The use of etching as a medium adds a sense of delicacy and detail to the artwork. The intricate design and use of natural elements in this etching are reminiscent of the Romanticism movement.
