EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Scenery Sketch for the Opera Frigga, created by the talented artist Louis Jean Desprez in 1787. The sketch, done with pen and Indian ink, is brought to life with watercolor on paper. Measuring an impressive 81x112.3 cm, this masterpiece can be found at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. Desprez's design for the opera scene transports us into a world of enchantment and drama. The romanticist style is evident in the meticulously detailed depiction of a wooded opening leading to a mysterious cave within a classical neoclassical setting. A grand temple facade with an imposing portico serves as the entrance to this mystical realm. The set design exudes theatricality and evokes curiosity about what lies beyond that enigmatic cave entrance. It sparks our imagination and invites us to immerse ourselves in the story unfolding on stage during Frigga's performance. With its skillful use of light and shadow, Desprez captures both the beauty of nature and the allure of ancient architecture. This scenery sketch not only sets the stage for an unforgettable opera experience but also stands alone as a work of art worth admiring. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images for preserving this remarkable piece from Desprez's oeuvre so that we may continue to appreciate his talent centuries later.
