EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, titled 'Le Vulcain de l'Opera' from Nicolas Bonnart's 'Recueil des modes de la cour de France,' dates between the years 1678 and 1693. The image showcases an intriguing scene from the French Opera during the Baroque era. A masked performer, dressed in ornate and colorful attire, is depicted holding a sledgehammer, perhaps symbolizing the power and intensity of the performing arts. The man's costume, adorned with intricate patterns and rich hues, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the French court. The image is a testament to the fusion of art and fashion during this period. The lettering at the bottom of the print, written in elegant script, identifies the location as 'L'Opera' and the performer as 'Vulcain.' This suggests that the man is portraying the Roman god of fire and the forge, a common character in operatic performances of the time. The print is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the world of Baroque entertainment and the fashion trends of the French court during the late 17th century. Today, this rare and beautiful work of art is preserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
