Before the Ball, 1735
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of anticipation and intrigue in the aristocratic world of 18th-century France. Painted by Jean Francois de Troy, this exquisite oil on canvas print showcases an opulent interior where elegant aristocrats gather for a masked ball. The room is bathed in soft candlelight, casting a warm glow that illuminates the scene. The upper-class attendees are dressed in lavish costumes and masks, their identities hidden as they engage in lively conversation and gossip. Servants scurry about, attending to their masters' needs with utmost discretion. The painting exudes an air of festivity and fashionable elegance. As guests prepare for the grand event, there is an undeniable sense of excitement lingering in the air. The rococo style decorates every corner of the room with intricate details, adding to its allure. In this tableau de mode, we witness not only the artistry of Jean Francois de Troy but also his ability to capture both social dynamics and fashion trends of his time. "Before the Ball" transports us back to a bygone era when dressing up was an art form itself and masked balls were occasions filled with mystery and allure. This piece from J. Paul Getty Museum invites us into a world where aristocracy reigns supreme – a glimpse into an extravagant society that thrived on leisurely pursuits and sophisticated conversations before indulging in nights filled with revelry at masked balls.
