EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of grandeur and elegance as Tsar Alexander III gracefully dances the quadrille d'honneur at a lavish feast hosted by the Count of Montebello, French ambassador to Russia. The engraving, featured in "Le petit journal" on November 3rd, 1893, showcases the Tsar's regal presence and his affinity for the art of dance. The image transports us back to a time when diplomacy was intertwined with cultural exchange. As the Russian monarch takes center stage on the ballroom floor, surrounded by distinguished guests and adorned in opulent attire, one can almost hear the enchanting melodies that filled the air. The unknown artist skillfully captures every detail - from Alexander III's confident posture to his intricate dance steps. This visual masterpiece is part of Selvas collection and offers a glimpse into an era where politics merged seamlessly with social gatherings. Through this photo print, we are reminded of how art has always played an essential role in documenting historical events. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and our fascination with capturing significant moments for posterity. Leonard de Selva's work allows us to appreciate not only Tsar Alexander III's passion for dance but also highlights the importance of cross-cultural connections during this period. This extraordinary piece invites us to step into history and witness firsthand this remarkable celebration between two nations – Russia and France – united through music and movement.
