EDITORS COMMENTS
This set design for the opera-ballet "Les Saisons" by Pascal Collasse, created between 1693 and 1697, is an exquisite example of the artistic brilliance of Jean Berain the Elder. The black and white drawing showcases the grandeur and elegance of the Baroque era, with intricate details that transport us back to the 17th century. The design features a series of architectural structures, including a pavilion, pergola, and various buildings, set against the backdrop of lush gardens and a serene park. The figures in the foreground, dressed in ornate Baroque apparel, add a sense of scale and life to the scene. Jean Berain the Elder's masterful use of line, form, and perspective creates a sense of depth and perspective, while the contrasting white and black tones add a dramatic and timeless quality to the image. The design for "Les Saisons" was likely used as a backdrop for the opera-ballet's performances, which took place in the grand theaters of France during the late 17th century. Today, this set design is preserved in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its intricate details and historical significance. The drawing serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the Baroque era and the enduring influence of Jean Berain the Elder on the world of art and design.
