EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in the history of French theater. The image showcases the performance of "La Princesse Elide" on the second day of "Les Plaisirs de l'Ile Enchantee" which took place on May 8th, 1664. Created by Silvestre, Israel, the Younger, this engraving offers a glimpse into an extravagant royal extravaganza held at Versailles. The scene depicted is filled with theatrical splendor and entertainment as actors bring to life Molière's comedy ballet. Jean Baptiste Poquelin (Molière) and Jean Baptiste Lully are credited for their contributions to this remarkable production that captivated audiences during its time. The image transports us back in time to witness this grand spectacle unfold before our eyes. The elaborate costumes worn by performers add an air of elegance and sophistication to the scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost hear the enchanting melodies composed by Lully accompanying every graceful movement on stage. Housed in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical artifact reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by these talented artists who shaped French theater as we know it today. It serves as a testament to their creativity and dedication towards creating unforgettable performances that continue to inspire generations after generations.
