EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegance and extravagance of a ball in 1817 Paris with this stunning print of Coryphees in all their glory. The dancers are dressed to impress, with jackets adorned with outsize buttons and collars, long ties, and huge bicorn hats that add an air of grandeur to their outfits. The merveilleuses accompanying them are equally striking, wearing decollete dresses and large lace collars that exude sophistication.
These ballet dancers hold a special place between the corps du ballet and soloists, showcasing their talent and style on the dance floor. Their breeches with a thousand folds and oversized jackets may seem cumbersome to some, but they wear them with such grace and poise that it's hard not to be captivated by their presence.
The hand-colored engraving from Pierre de la Mesanger's Le Bon Genre captures the essence of this extravagant era perfectly, transporting us back to a time when fashion was as important as dancing at these lavish events. This print is a true masterpiece that celebrates the beauty and opulence of 19th-century French society.
