La peinture à Bordeaux 1750-1800, Bordeaux, Musée des Beaux-Arts, 1989, reproduits p. 27 (Pierre-Bertrand Dandrillon). Par une peinture minutieuse et dans un souci du détail architectural, Pierre Charles Dandrillon réalise ces deux peintures en interprétant les dessins de Louis-Nicolas Louis, dit Victor Louis (l’un, plume et lavis, 0,34 x 0,56 cm, est conservé aux archives municipales de Bordeaux. L’autre, lavis et encre de chine, 51 x 95,6 cm, est au musée des arts décoratif de Bordeaux.

Après son séjour à Rome de 1755 à 1759 et quelques travaux réalisés à Paris, notamment la chapelle des âmes du purgatoire dans l’église sainte Marguerite, Victor Louis est appelé à Bordeaux par le gouverneur de Guyenne, le Maréchal de Richelieu, pour réaliser la nouvelle salle de spectacle. Son projet est approuvé en 1774 et le Grand Théâtre est inauguré en 1780. Son style élégant et sobre marque l’esprit d’un nouvel aménagement urbain et se retrouve dans une suite d’hôtels particuliers et de châteaux bordelais. Ayant un rapport particulier avec le monde du théâtre et de retour à Paris dans les vingt dernières années de sa vie, Victor Louis répond à la demande de Philippe d’Orléans d’agrandir la Palais-Royal et d’ajouter à cet ensemble le théâtre des Petits-comédiens ainsi que le Théâtre Français devenu en 1799 la Comédie-Française. Pierre-Charles Dandrillon, élève de Demachy, est vraisemblablement à Bordeaux lors de l’élévation du Grand Théâtre avant de partir à Rome entre 1790 et 1793 et de devenir professeur de perspective à l’Ecole spéciale des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Par l’exagération de la perspective, il donne des dimensions colossales au théâtre et renforce ce caractère monumental par l’échelle, donnée au moyen de silhouettes vivement croquées et de scènes de la vie quotidienne et accentue la solitude du bâtiment. Le bâtiment seul et imposant illustre le courant néoclassique et rapproche les peintures de Dandrillon des dessins puristes presque futuristes de Claude Nicolas Ledoux, architecte contemporain de notre artiste en illustrant la description du marquis de Saint Marc récitée lors de l’inauguration du grand Théâtre « Quel spectacle enchanteur, quel monument pompeux ! Sous ses voutes retentissantes Les arts parés de fleurs, les muses triomphantes Invitent les mortels à s’unir à leurs jeux […] »

Afterwards, Princess Elizabeth gave a party for the guards at Windsor Castle, and I was one of the artistes chosen to entertain the Royal Family and their guests….Everything, including my own act, ticked like a well-lubricated machine. King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were there, and at the end of my act I asked them to join in a song called "Oysters and Clams". They really had a go-very ably backed by no less than seven hundred guardsmen and officers. After the show we were entertained to tea and presented to the Royal Family. The King and Queen walked down the long line of artistes standing before the enormous fireplace in the great hall. The two princesses followed their parents and conversation flowed from one to another of us.`
