EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Chair of Medee" created by renowned artist Jean Berain in 1675. The chair, a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship, is believed to have been used as a costume prop for the theatrical production "Thesee" composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully. Housed in the prestigious National Library in Paris, this artwork reflects the opulence and grandeur of 17th-century France. The chair's intricate details are truly mesmerizing. Adorned with mythical creatures and dragons, it transports us into a world of fantasy and enchantment. Its regal presence suggests that it may have been reserved for royalty or other esteemed individuals. Beyond its artistic value, this photograph also captures glimpses of a carriage on a country road under an expansive sky filled with clouds. These elements add depth to the composition while hinting at transportation and movement during this era. The use of ink, pen, watercolor, and textiles further highlights Berain's mastery over various art media. His skillful portrayal brings life to both real and fictional characters depicted within his works. As we admire this remarkable print from Heritage Images' collection, we are transported back in time to experience the splendor and creativity that flourished during France's seventeenth century.
