EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving, titled 'Maistre a Danser' from the 'Recueil des modes de la cour de France' by Nicolas Bonnart, depicts a fashionable gentleman of the French court during the late 17th century. Dressed in the latest trends of the time, he wears a voluminous coat with a red lining and a matching waistcoat, both adorned with intricate gold braid and lace. The gentleman's breeches are held up by a sash, and he wears a tall, curled wig. The man is depicted standing with a graceful posture, one hand resting on a musical instrument, suggesting that he may be a musician. The stringed instrument at his side, likely a viola da gamba, is also adorned with gold detailing. The background is simple, with a plain, monochromatic backdrop that allows the vibrant colors and intricate details of the man's attire to take center stage. The 'Recueil des modes de la cour de France' was a popular series of fashion plates published in France between approximately 1678 and 1693. The series showcased the latest trends and styles of the French court, and was widely circulated throughout Europe. This particular plate, 'Maistre a Danser,' is a prime example of the opulence and elegance of the Baroque era. Today, this beautiful work of art is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is cherished as a valuable piece of heritage art and a testament to the rich fashion history of the 17th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving continue to captivate viewers and transport them back in time to the opulent world of the French court.
