EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the grace and elegance of Italian ballet dancer Carlotta Grisi (1819-1899), also known as Caronne Adele Josephine Marie Grisi, as she performs the lively and spirited dance, La Polka, with her partner Jules Perrot (1819-1915). The photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases Grisi's exceptional skill and artistry as she executes the intricate steps of the Polka in a stunning red and white costume. Born in Genoa, Italy, Grisi began her ballet training at a young age and quickly rose to fame for her expressive and emotive performances. She made her debut at the Opéra-Comique in Paris in 1841 and went on to dance leading roles in numerous productions, including La Bayadère, Giselle, and La Fille Mal Gardée. In this photograph, Grisi's connection with Perrot is palpable as they dance the Polka, a popular dance that originated in Bohemia in the 1830s. The dance was characterized by its quick, lively steps and playful, flirtatious movements, making it a perfect fit for Grisi's vivacious personality and expressive dance style. Jules Perrot, a renowned French choreographer, was a frequent collaborator of Grisi's, and the two worked together on numerous productions throughout their careers. Their partnership was marked by a deep understanding and mutual respect, and their performances together were renowned for their artistry and technical prowess. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Carlotta Grisi and Jules Perrot, whose contributions to the world of ballet continue to inspire and captivate audiences to this day. With her expressive movements and captivating stage presence, Grisi remains an icon of ballet history, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the artistry and beauty of her performances.
