EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print showcases a costume designed for the character La Haine in the tragic opera Armida, which premiered in 1764. Created by an anonymous French School artist from the 18th century, this exquisite artwork is housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France. The tragedy Armida was composed by Jean Baptiste Lully, a renowned musician and composer of the Baroque era. The intense emotions and dramatic themes of this opera are beautifully captured in this stunning depiction. The intricate details of the costume highlight its opulence and elegance, reflecting the grandeur of Lully's music. Intriguingly, amidst the beauty lies a sense of violence and tension. A bomb and dagger prominently feature within La Haine's attire, symbolizing her role as a harbinger of hatred and destruction. This juxtaposition between gracefulness and aggression adds depth to both the character and the overall composition. Giancarlo Costa skillfully captures all these elements through his masterful use of watercolours. His portrayal evokes strong emotions while showcasing his artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when artistry flourished alongside great tragedies on stage. It serves as a reminder that even within darkness there can be beauty – albeit tinged with pain – waiting to be discovered.
