EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set design for an unidentified play, taken from the renowned collection titled "Menus Plaisirs du Roi". Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 17th century, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper masterpiece is now housed at the Centre Historique des Archives Nationales in Paris, France. The scene depicted in this artwork remains mysterious, as it represents a piece of theater that has not been identified. However, its theatrical essence is palpable through the presence of actors adorned in exquisite costumes. The stage is adorned with fluted columns reminiscent of Doric architecture, creating a dramatic and grandiose atmosphere. The perspective skillfully captures the depth and dimensionality of the colonnade, further enhancing its visual impact. Dating back to the reign of Louis XIV (1638-1715), also known as "the Sun King" this set design exemplifies the opulence and splendor associated with his era. As part of the House of Bourbons dynasty ruling over France during that time period, Louis XIV's influence permeated all aspects of art and culture. While we may never know which specific play this set design was intended for or what story it aimed to tell, its enduring beauty continues to captivate viewers centuries later. This remarkable painting serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance within French theatre history.
