EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite set design for the opera Proserpine, created by the talented artist Jean Berain in approximately 1680. The opera Proserpine, composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully with a libretto by Philippe Quinault, premiered in Saint-Germain-en-Laye on February 3rd, 1680. The image transports us back to the enchanting world of 17th-century France, where entertainment and art flourished. The concept of repetition is evident through the symmetrical arrangement of architectural features such as pillars and archways. These stone structures create a sense of grandeur and elegance that perfectly complements the opulent atmosphere of an opera performance. Berain's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this set design. From the intricate carvings on each pillar to the graceful curves of each arch, his artistic prowess shines through. The monochrome presentation adds a timeless quality to this piece, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported into another era - a time when music and theater were revered forms of entertainment. It serves as a testament to both Berain's skill as an artist and Lully's contribution to French opera during this period. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural importance of set designs like these in bringing stories to life on stage.
