EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Carlotta Grisi in her iconic role as Giselle, from Adolphe Adam's ballet of the same name. The color lithograph beautifully captures Grisi's ethereal presence and delicate grace as she embodies the character of Giselle. Grisi, a renowned ballerina of the 19th century, flawlessly portrays the tragic tale of a young woman who becomes a ghost after dying before her wedding day. Known as Les Wilis, these spirits haunt the stage with their hauntingly beautiful dance movements. The image transports us to a mesmerizing scene where Grisi is depicted gracefully floating above a shimmering lake. Her flowing costume and intricate headdress add an enchanting touch to her portrayal of this otherworldly character. In the background, we catch glimpses of tombstones adorned with flowers, symbolizing both life and death intertwining within this ballet masterpiece. Through this photograph, we witness not only Grisi's exceptional talent but also gain insight into the profound emotions evoked by this timeless ballet. The combination of costume design, landscape imagery, and flying elements creates an atmosphere that captivates our imagination and draws us into Giselle's world. Preserved in eArchives Charmet at Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France; this historic piece serves as a testament to Carlotta Grisi's legacy and continues to inspire dancers and art enthusiasts alike with its beauty and depth.
