EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "les Coulisses de l'Opéra" (The Backstage of the Opera), was created by the renowned French artist Jules Cheret in 1896. Published by Imprimerie Chaix in Paris, this masterpiece is a testament to the Belle Époque era's rich cultural heritage. The vibrant colors and intricate Art Nouveau design draw the viewer in, transporting them to the enchanting world of the Parisian opera. The image features a group of poised and elegant young women, dressed in flowing, colorful costumes, gathered in the wings of the opera house. Their faces are filled with anticipation and excitement, as if they are about to take the stage. The women's graceful poses and the delicate lettering of the French text add to the overall sense of beauty and artistry. The backdrop of the opera house is depicted in intricate detail, with its ornate columns, intricate patterns, and golden accents. The use of lower case letters in the title and the French text adds a sense of intimacy and exclusivity to the piece. This lithograph was originally created as an advertisement for the Musee Grevin, a wax museum in Paris, and is part of the Maitres de l'Affiche series. It is a stunning example of the high-quality printing techniques of the time, with its rich colors and intricate details. Today, this cherished piece is part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library. It serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and artistry of the 19th century and the rich cultural heritage of France.
