EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures a moment of elegance and grace in the world of 18th-century ballroom dancing. The scene depicts dancers at a ball, engrossed in the fluid movements of a waltz. It is an exquisite representation of the Viennese waltz, which had recently arrived in Paris during the 1790s. The female dancer featured in this print embodies sophistication with her hair styled in the fashionable Greek fashion and adorned in a stunning ball gown. As she gracefully turns, her partner matches her every step with precision and finesse. Created by French School artists Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt for Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames, this illustration offers us a glimpse into the opulent world of high society during this period. The attention to detail and vibrant colors bring life to each figure on the dance floor. This artwork not only showcases the beauty of dance but also serves as a historical document reflecting societal changes during that time. Set against the backdrop of political turmoil brought about by both royalist and republican factions amidst the French Revolution, these dancers provide an escape from reality through their elegant movements. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate this piece's artistic mastery while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
